During the interrogation in the hospital by the police, Kasab had pleaded the interrogators to kill him for the safety of his family in Pakistan. "Now, I do not want to live,” he had said.
Mumbai Police stated that Kasab spoke rough Hindi and no English.
Kasab is also quoted as saying, "I have done right, I have no regrets."
According to investigations, the attackers travelled by sea from Karachi across the Arabian Sea and hijacked the Indian fishing trawler 'Kuber', killing the crew of four and forcing the captain to sail to Mumbai.
On 25 February 2009, police filed an 11,000-page chargesheet in which Kasab was charged with murder, conspiracy and waging war against India. The trial began on 6 May 2009. He initially pleaded not guilty, but later admitted his guilt on 20 July 2009. He initially apologised for the attacks and claimed that he deserved the death penalty. He, however, later retracted these claims, saying that he had been tortured by police to force his confession.
