A FRENZIED lynch mob tried to kill sole surviving Mumbai terrorist Azam Kasav, dramatic new video footage revealed yesterday.
Baby-faced Kasav, 21, was caught with another gunman after a Skoda they had hijacked was halted at a road block.
Armed cops opened up on the car, killing Kasav’s comrade instantly. A passer-by captured the unfolding scene on video using his mobile.
It shows cops suddenly realising blood-spattered Kasav – with a bullet-wound to his hand – had been playing dead.
He is seen crouching in a ball on the ground as two vengeful policemen lay into him, smashing wooden staves on his back. Passers-by then join in the beating, raining punches and kicks on the killer. The attack is so ferocious it appears Kasav will die.
But senior cops finally step in to save him – the only survivor of the ten-strong terror gang which left at least 174 dead and 330 wounded.
Mohammad Ajmal Mohammad Amin Kasab, the only
terrorist to have been arrested in connection with the three-day
terror attack, shot dead Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) chief Hemant
Karkare, Mumbai police sources said here today.
They said Kasab, a Pakistani national who was remanded to police
custody till December 11, also killed encounter specialist Vijay
Salaskar and Additional Commissioner of Police Ashok Kamte.
The sources said ten terrorists had arrived in the city for the first
time on the night of Wednesday using the sea route and then dispersed
in pairs to the targeted locations.
The terrorists allegedly took taxis to their assigned locations and
paid in Indian currency. “Each terrorist was carrying Rs 6,200 with
them,” a senior police official said.
Kasab was arrested on the night of Wednesday after his partner, whose
identity is stated to be Ismail Khan, was shot dead by the police at
Girgaum Chowpatty locality in south Mumbai.
Kasab and his partner had first opened fire at CST railway station and
then proceeded to Cama hospital and G T Hospital, a senior police
official said.
Kasab has allegedly revealed that their plan was to take hostages at
the Taj hotel, Oberoi Hotel and Nariman House and then use them to
escape from the city, he added.
He said the Indian financial capital was chosen keeping in mind the
worldwide impact it would have.
