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.
