Cost of keeping Kasab alive: Rs 31 crore and counting

Guess how much India is spending on keeping the sole surviving 26/11 Pakistani terrorist alive and healthy in prison? Over Rs 30 crore 


Maharashtra govt has so far spent a staggering Rs 31 crore to keep 26/11 attacker Ajmal Kasab safe and secure enough to stand trial.


As India observes the first anniversary of the terror attack on Mumbai, the cash-strapped Democratic Front government in Maharashtra has so far spent a staggering Rs 31 crore, or nearly Rs 8.5 lakh per day, to keep the 21-year-old terrorist from the Pakistani town of Faridkot safe and secure enough to stand trial.

Shame. For small reasons police do encounters. Why Government is safegaurding a terrorist for a long time. Terrorist is a pakistani. Apply Islamic law for his immediate punishment. No use of keeping him alive in India.

First he learn Marathi, later apply for local certificate, he want to be a Marathi Manoos.

From Mumbai he can contest as future YOUNG leader in Congress party. To under stand problems of his community. Our Government Mr. Chidambaram is there to respect his ideas and help this young boy. Only thing just he migrated a year ago and you know a small mistake he did but that is advantage for him in future political life.

He is also like Late.Sanjay Gandhi.

Wonder how much they spent on Afzal Guru!!!!!!!!!

The money is spending on Ajmal Kasab is public money and tax payers money. Home minister of Maharastra or Union Home Minister is not spending from their pockets. They want to show to the innocent indians themselves very intelligent how they are providing security and how much money is spending on Kasab for learning geography and politics of terrorism.

Our MPs, MLAs and top officials of Government's brains should keep in Museums to show.

Thats one side of the coin. The other side is that it was a major breakthrough in catching him alive. The entire plan was disclosed by him.

The amount spend is not on Kasab but for the trial which is highly sensitive.

By keeping him alive and spending a lot on his trial, India was able to highlight the involvement of Pakistan. Initially Pak refused to have connection with all the terrirists and even disowned Kasab. However later due to this trial only they had to accept that they belonged to Pak.

In my view spending this amount in creating a international pressure on Pak and proving their involvement in attacks is not high.

Our intelligence (CBI / Police dpt.) officers can catch any type of criminal in short period. We should n't under estimate our CBI or Bombay police. They will get truth (whole information)from the caught criminal in weeks.

keeping in the jail, spending that much of huge amount for safe gaurding him, media propaganda all will help other side people to think or deny the truth.

A terrorist shouldn't live long time when caught. Our courts should punish them in a span of 90 days by completing whole inquiry.

REGARDING THE TRIAL OF KASAB AND HUGE EXPENSES ,  KINDLY NOTE THAT

1 ALL CHARGES AND CRIME ALLEGED IS VERY SERIOUS NATURE AND SEVERAL INNOCENT PERSONS WERE SHOT DEAD BY THE ATTACKERS AND ALMOST ALL WERE SHOT DEAD BY THE SECURITY FORCES .THE SOLE SURVIVOR OF ACCUSED IS FACING TRIAL IN THE COURT.SEVERAL INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL AND TERRORIST LINKS WERE EXPOSED DURING THE COURSE OF INVESTIGATION AND THROUGH NEWS PAPER REPORTS ENTIRE NATION AND INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITIES WERE MADE AWARE OF THE SAME BY MEDIA.

.NO DOUBT THE AMOUNT SPENT ON SAID ACCUSED IS MUCH MORE THAT REQUIRED KINDLY NOTE THAT IT IS A QUESTION OF NATIONAL SECURITY  AND VITAL INFORMATION MUST HAVE BEEN DISCLOSED BY THE ACCUSED.IT HAS VERY LONG LASTING IMPACT ON INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS.AND AVOID UNNECESSARY WAR AMONG NATIONS.

2.INDIA IS A DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY AND WE ALL LOVE OUR INDIA. ANY ONE WHO DARES TO ATTACK INDIA OR POOR INDIAN CITIZENS SHOULD BE DEALT WITH FIRMLY.BUT KINDLY NOTE THAT INDIAN CONSTITUTION HAS GIVEN RIGHTS TO EVERY CITIZEN AND ALSO MADE APPROPRIATE LAW PROVISIONS TO ENSURE JUSTICE FOR ALL.. UNLESS ALL CHARGES AGAINST ACCUSED ARE PROVED IN LAW COURTS BY GIVING THE ACCUSED FULL OPPORTUNITY TO DEFEND HIS CASE IN THE COURT NO ONE IS PUNISHED.NO ONE IS GUILTY UNLESS HE IS PROVED GUILTY.

3. IN THE CASE OF KASAB ,PROSECUTION HAS TO PROVE ALL CHARGES AGAINST THE ACCUSED BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT THEN ONLY HE CAN BE PUNISHED.KINDLY NOTE THE AS PER PROVISIONS OF INDIAN PENAL CODE ENTIRE LEGAL PROCEDURE IS WELL DEFINED AND LEGAL SECTIONS AND PUNISHMENT FOR THE SAID SECTIONS IS ALSO CLEARLY MENTIONED. KINDLY FURTHER NOTE THAT THE ACCUSED IS CHARGED WITH SEVERAL SERIOUS SECTIONS OF INDIAN PENAL CODE AND ALL DEFENSES AVAILABLE TO OTHER ACCUSED ARE ALSO AVAILABLE TO THIS ACCUSED ALSO.HENCE UNLESS ALL LEGAL PROCEDURE IS OVER AND ALL EVIDENCE OF ALL WITNESSES IS RECORDED COURT WILL NOT COME TO ANY HASTY DECISION PLEASE NOTE.

4.INDIAN LEGAL SYSTEM ,LAW COURTS AND ENTIRE JUDICIARY  IS COMPETENT ENOUGH AND THOUGH THIS TRIAL CONCLUDES THE  ACCUSED IN CASE WANTS TO APPEAL THEN HE MAY FILE APPEAL TO HIGH COURT AND FURTHER APPEAL LIES TO THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA. KINDLY NOTE THAT  THIS TRIAL THOUGH GETS OVER AND JUDGEMENT IS PASSED BY THE SESSIONS COURT , STILL FURTHR APPEAL TO HIGH COURT AND FURTHER APPEAL TO SUPREME COURT MAY TAKE SEVERAL YEARS AND TILL THAT TIME ACCUSED WILL REMAIN IN JAIL PLEASE NOTE. AS THIS IS INTERNATIONAL ISSUE ALL CONCERNED INDIAN NEWSPAPER AND MEDIA EXPERTS SHOULD PUBLISH JUST AND FAIR TRIAL PICTURE OF THIS CASE AND PASS COMMENTS WITH RESPONSIBILITY.

5.KINDLY NOTE THAT AS FAR AS HUGE EXPENSES ON THIS TRIAL ARE CONCERNED, IT IS ADVISIBLE THAT GOVT.OF INDIA AND STATE GOVERNMENTS SHOULD PASS APPROPRIATE AMMENDMENTS IN EXHISTING LAW PROVISIONS AND ALL ACCUSED SHOULD BE TREATED EQUALLY AND NO SPECIAL TREATMENT SHOULD BE GIVEN TO ANY ONE AND AVOID UNNECESSARY HUGE EXPENSES ON TRIAL OF ACCUSED.

6.NOW ALOVER DUE TO RECESSION MOST OF THE BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL UNITS ARE FACING FINANCIAL CRICIS  RESULTING IN INCREASE IN UNEMPLOYMENT ALLOVER .IT IS ADVISIBLE TO USE THIS PUBLIC FUNDS IN THE INTEREST OF JUSTICE FOR THE WELFARE OF UNEMPLOYED YOUTH WHO ARE FUTURE OF OUR NATION. WE ALL SHOULD LOVE AND RESPECT OUR INDIA AND SHOULD BECOME A VERY STRONG AND INDEPENDENT AND SECURED AND SAFE NATION  IN THE WORLD.

WITH BEST REGARDS TO ALL CONCERNED. MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

THANKING YOU

I appreciate Nanda Kumar ji's detail explanation. In India our media makes terrorists heros. Later our producers make a film on KASAB. Unemployees will learn from him and become his fans. I learnt that in Gulf countries in criminal cases they will deliver verdict in 60 days.He is a terrorist. Before our intelligence introgation no foreigner cannot escape. What ever information required they will get in a month. That much capacity our intelligence have. India shouldn't bend to international pressures. It has to take immediate decision. Only capital punishment should be given to the terrorists in INDIA.

Shame to spend the said amount..... he needs to be hanged infront of the TAJ Hotel and needs to be give the horrible punishment so next time people like Kasab should think tons of times to step into our mother land....Jai hind.
