An expert hangman was summoned.
On Nov 12, Kasab was told about his impending hanging by jail staff in Mumbai's Arthur Road Jail where he had been for four years. A week later, early on Nov 19, he was taken on a special flight to Pune.
When death came knocking two days later, he requested authorities that his mother be informed, and indicated he had no last wish. He did not want to make a will or any final testament.
Just 15 minutes after Kasab's death, the Operation X team conveyed to the state home department that the task was "successfully completed".
