Mumbai: Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab was on Monday told by a court he was guilty on 86 charges from the 2008 Mumbai attacks. Kasab didn’t react.
Clad in a white kurta-pyjama, Kasab stood with his head bowed as Special Judge M L Tahilyani declared him guilty of murder, waging war against the Indian state, conspiracy and a host of other charges.
He stood up quietly as the court explained its verdict to him in Hindi and then sat down when asked.
"Tumhe Bharat ke khilaf jung chedne aur terrorist act karne aur logon ka khoon karne ke liye doshi paaya gaya hai" (You have been found guilty for waging war against India, committing terror acts and murder)," Tahilyani told him.
""Tumhari saaza ki sunwayi kal hogi" (Arguments on your quantum of sentence would take place tomorrow)," he said.
Soon after this, Kasab, sporting a stubble, was escorted back to his cell.
Meanwhile, the other two accused-- Faheem Ansari and Sabauddin Ahmed, who were acquitted of all the charges could not surpress their smiles as they heaved a sigh of relief.
Soon after the judgement, Faheem exchanged glances with his wife and brother present in the court and smiled broadly.
