Mumbai: A Pakistani man who is the lone surviving gunman from the 2008 Mumbai attacks will be sentenced on Thursday, the judge trying him in a special prison court in the Indian financial capital said Tuesday.
After hearing arguments about the appropriate penalty for Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab, a 22-year-old convicted of murder and waging war on India, judge M.L. Tahaliyani adjourned the court.
He said it would reconvene "the day after tomorrow".
Public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam called for the death penalty.
"I told the court he should be given the death penalty and the court reserved its judgement until the day after tomorrow," he told reporters outside the court.
