Mumbai, May 06: A decision on the issue of shifting Pakistani terrorist Ajmal Kasab, who was sentenced to death in the 26/11 case, outside Mumbai would be taken tomorrow, Maharashtra Home Minister R R Patil said here today.
“We will take a decision on whether to keep him here (Mumbai) or shift him outside, tomorrow,” Patil told reporters, soon after the death penalty was announced.
Kasab, 22, is currently lodged in the high security Arthur Road Jail.
“We welcome the verdict. It serves those who attacked Mumbai and India, considering it as a soft target,” Patil said.
On the process of appeal in High Court against the verdict, Patil said, “we will request the Centre that the High Court procedure should be fast tracked because charges against Kasab are serious.
