Kasab alive by his destiny or is a sheer coincidence that he is alive? Whatever!

As soon after he was captured at Girgaum Chowpatty on November 26 Maharashtra police commandos had got orders to eliminate Kasab en route to the hospital, allegedly from the local deputy commissioner of police. However, until then, they had almost reached the hospital and so, Kasab could not be killed.

Had Kasab been killed, the entire investigation into the 26/ 11 Mumbai terror strike would have fallen apart.

“It was not immediately apparent how important Qasab would be to the investigation that followed. But after hearing that he and his partner Ismail Khan had shot dead three senior police officers — ATS chief, additional commissioner of police and encounter specialist— near Cama Hospital, the police were furious and wanted to kill both the terrorists.” said sources.

Kasab and Khan had fled from Cama Hospital in a Toyota Qualis that belonged to the police. They later abandoned it after it broke down near Metro Cinema, where they again fired shots killing one and injuring many others.

They finally arrived near Girgaum Chowpatty in a silver Skoda Octavia. It was here that Khan was killed and Kasab captured alive, mainly because of assistant sub- inspector Tukaram Omble, who held the barrel of Kasab’s AK- 47 directly at himself. Kasab emptied the entire barrel into Omble, who died on the spot.

The police arrested Kasab in the time he took to reload his rifle. It was then that the state commando unit was told to capture Kasab.

The commandos nevertheless beat up Kasab on the way, but sources said he was so highly trained that he never wilted.“Kasab also made attempts to kill himself, he tried to hold his breath in an attempt to kill himself.

Even when he was being taken to the hospital, he was trying to get hold of something on his person to kill himself. Once in the hospital, the commandos immediately tied him to the hospital bed and secured the area. Onlookers were shooed away. He was kept spread- eagled on the bed so that he could not use his hands to pick up anything nearby and kill himself.
