00:00They were completely brainwashed to go and kill as many Indians as possible.

00:05He was not the one who will feel guilty or anything like that.

00:30The key conspirators and planners of the 26-11 attacks continue to remain protected

00:43and unpunished.

00:52Did you have a chance to meet Kasab?

00:53Yeah, yeah.

00:54I was the commissioner of police.

00:56He was hanged only after four and a half years of the incident.

01:01Our highly democratic government gave him every opportunity by appointing a lawyer and

01:07gave him every opportunity to defend and all the due process was followed and he was duly

01:12hung after four and a half years.

01:15He was in the high security prison and I was the commissioner of police.

01:18I had the occasions to meet him and talk to him.

01:21What was he like in person?

01:22He is like a small robo, uneducated parents.

01:25The father was a snack vendor, uneducated and from Faridkot of Pakistan and this boy

01:31was a fourth-class fail and he worked in a mason's help.

01:35He was carrying bricks on his head in a construction site and things like that.

01:39These boys were all completely brainwashed and they were trained in an army camp and

01:44then they were sent without bulletproof jackets.

01:47They all knew very well that it is a one-way trip and they are not going to come back.

01:51They were completely brainwashed to go and kill as many Indians as possible.

01:57So when you spoke to him, was there any level of guilt at all?

02:00Not at all.

02:01Not at all.

02:02Not at all.

02:03Not at all.

02:04He was not the one who will feel guilty or anything like that.

02:07He wouldn't feel bad about it.

02:10I told you they were like the people who are like a robo kind of a thing.

02:15So he just went through the motions and then all that.

02:18How do you think these guys looked at death?

02:21They are told, not only them, every other jihadi girl or boy, a lot of European girls

02:28also joined Syria, this IS-IS, but then they are brainwashed and they are told that you

02:33will go there to heavens and there will be so many wine, women and various other things

02:40are promised to them.

02:41But my question is who has gone there and seen that, come back to give a report to them

02:45that the girls were so young, nubile and all that and the wine and wine was sweet or salty.

02:51Nobody has seen.

02:52But somehow this brainwashing does take place very, very effectively.

02:57They would have been given a lot of promise that they will be looked after, their family

03:01will be looked after.

03:03And much after they attain the glory in the name of the religion, you know, then they

03:08will be looked after and they will remain martyrs and this, I mean, what all kind of

03:13language is used for them, one can imagine, but then they are fully charged to go and

03:19face death.
