Ajmal Kasab appeals to Supreme Court against death penalty

Ajmal Kasab appeals to Supreme Court against death penalty
Mumbai: Ajmal Kasab, the lone terrorist caught alive in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, has moved the Supreme Court challenging the Bombay High Court judgment confirming the death sentence slapped on him by a trial court for his role in the carnage.

According to sources, Kasab filed the appeal directly through jail authorities, who sent it to the Supreme Court Secretary- General.

The Supreme Court is likely to hear this petition next week.

The terror attack claimed 166 lives and left 238 injured.
