Kasab impressed to know importance of ‘Rakhi’

Mumbai, August 05: Pakistani terrorist Mohammed Ajmal Kasab, being tried by a special court for 26/11 attacks, today could not contain his curiosity when he saw colourful ‘Rakhis’ on the wrist of lawyers and policemen in the court room.

When told about the significance of the festival by his lawyer Abbas Kazmi, an apparently impressed Kasab asked “When would some one come to me and tie a Rakhi?”

Kazmi told him, “If some one treats you like a brother she would surely come and tie a Rakhi”.

Kasab was seen smiling all the while during the trial today, thereby prompting the judge M L Tahaliyani to ask him whether he had anything to say. However, Kasab replied in the negative, Kazmi said.
