“His walk turned wobbly and he begged for mercy. His last words sought forgiveness. He said, ‘Mujhe maaf kar do, meri chhoti behene hain, dobara aisi galti nahin hogi (Forgive me, I have kid sisters back home, I will never repeat the mistake),' Patil said.
This is the first time Patil has given out details about Kasab's stay in prison and his subsequent hanging on November 21, 2012.
“Kasab had quirky habits. He would pace up and down the [prison] cell at night and sleep all day. He had a foul mouth, would turn violent without reason and would show his judo skills to security personnel guarding him. He once tore the bed sheet given to him and tried to strangulate himself with the help of the torn cloth. Our security personnel, however, snatched the cloth,” Patil said.
