The break-through in the investigation of the case was achieved with the arrest of Syed Abdul Rehman Gilani, a Lecturer in a local College, whose interrogation led to the identification of two other accomplices, Afzal and Shaukat Hussain Guru. The wife of the latter disclosed that her husband and Afzal had in the afternoon of 13th December, 2001 left for Srinagar. This information was immediately conveyed to the J&K Police who apprehended both of them. A laptop computer and Rs.1 million in cash were recovered from them. They were later brought to Delhi by a Special Team deputed for the purpose by Delhi Police.

Interrogation of the accused persons has revealed that Afzal was the main coordinator who was assigned this task by a Pakistani national, Gazi Baba of Jaish-e-Mohmmad. Afzal had earlier been trained in a camp run by Pak ISI at Muzaffarabad in Pak Occupied Kashmir. The hideouts for the five Pak terrorists were arranged by Shaukat Hussain Guru, two in Mukherjee Nagar and one in timarpur area in North Delhi. During the subsequent raids, the police recovered from two of these hideouts a lot of incriminating material including a large quantity of ammonium Nitrate and other ingredients used in preparing Improvised Explosive Devices; a map of Delhi; a sheet of paper carrying a map of Chankyapuri drawn in hand; and three police uniforms. In all, four persons have so far been arrested in connection with this case.

Friends, out of four only Afzal is awarded capital punishment. Of rest three, Two r aquitted n only Shaukat is convicted by supreme court to serve rigourously for 10 year imprisonment.


The Supreme Court confirmed death for only four -- Nalini, Murugan, Santhan and Perarivalan alias Arivu-- while awarding life term for three others -- Robert Payas, Jayakumar and Ravichandran.  Nalini's death penalty was commuted into life term by the Tamil Nadu governor in 2000.Nalini, an  assassin of  Rajiv Gandhi, who was given a life term punishment, on completion of  over 18 years in Vellore prison, has  filed a petition in the Madras High Court on September 11 , 2009 under which she sought for  her premature release as per law. 

As Mrs. Vinita Kamte says in her book " To the last bullet" , a police officer died without help which was just 2 minutes away bcoz Mr Maria was clueless. under this situation we have hundreds of kasab everyday . just recall, we dont hear any such stories from USA on much more tragedy of 9/11. There city mayor was awarded. just think, y dont we not hear an american name . y kasab is not nurtured in a developed country. bcoz there is an inverse relationship between prosperity n crime. we have to devise means to bring prosperity.
