Sushilkaumar Shinde spelt out the reasons for secrecy over Kasab's
hanging. He said the government didn't want any untoward incident and
hence it was carried out in a secret manner.
It is noteworthy that a major attack was planned in response to the
killing of Qateel Siddiqui, who was accused of aiding 26/11. A series of
blasts was scheduled to be carried out on August 1, but as the
mechanism failed and bombs could not explode. As a result major disaster
was averted. The authorities, therefore decided not to take any chances
with Kasab's hanging.

Kasab's dengue was, after all, a clever ruse used by the authorities, who checked if Kasab was medically fit for hanging.
It is now being revealed that Kasab was checked in the guise of dengue and was declared fit. It's mandatory in India to check the convict before he is hanged.

"I congratulate Maharashtra government and I believe this is true
shraddhanjali for Balasaheb. He had been demanding death for Kasab till
his last breath," Raut said.

There is no word yet on where Kasab will be buried. Mumbai police had
buried the other nine terrorists in 26/11 attacks at a place in a
similar secret operation. Pakistan, where the terrorists were trained,
has steadfastly refused any role in the attack and therefore their
bodies were refused.

Kasab's mercy petition was rejected by the President Pranab Mukherjee on November 8.
Our agencies had killed 9 terrorists on the very day of the attack. Our
brave officers managed to capture Kasab alive. He was tried before the
special court, and all judicial processes were duly followed. We have
shown the world how India follows all laws and conventions, Patil said.

In absence of a hangman to execute the death sentence of Kasab, the
terrorist was hanged by the officials from the Yerawada Central Jail.
The highly placed sources in the jail said, “The hangman of
Yerawada jail had retired and the position is vacant for the last
some years. However, there is no law that only hangman can execute a
death sentence. Therefore the decision that Kasab’s death sentence will
be executed by a jail officer was taken and Kasab was hanged around
7.30 am.”

Barely a week before the fourth anniversary of Mumbai terror attack, a
convict in the attack and Pak national Ajmal Amir Kasab was hanged to
death at Yerawada jail in Pune at 7.30 am this morning. Kasab's death
sentence was confirmed by the Supreme Court earlier this year. Kasab had
sought presidential pardon, but it was rejected earlier this month.
In a swift and absolutely close-guarded manner, state authorities moved
Kasab to Yerawada jail from his high-security prison at Arthur Road in
Mumbai. It is estimated he was brought to Pune about 30 hours ago, even
as the state was mourning death of Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray.
State Home Minister R R Patil is expected to hold a press conference in
a short while to confirm Kasab's hanging. Speaking to television
channels, Patil confirmed the hanging, but refused to divulge any more
details.
