HC turns fortress for Kasab's hearing
Mumbai: A thick security blanket has been thrown in and around the Bombay High Court which will hear from tomorrow the arguments on confirmation of death sentence awarded to Pakistani terrorist Ajmal Kasab for his role in 26/11 attacks.
Kasab, who has challenged his conviction and sentence, is currently reading holy 'Koran' in a bomb and bullet proof cell at Central Prison which is guarded by a strong posse of Indo Tibetan Border Security (ITBS) men, sources said.
The hearing, on a day-to-day basis, would begin in the court of Justice Ranjana Desai and Justice R V More where arrangements for video conference have been made so that Kasab is not brought from jail in view of threat perception to him.
