Ajmal kasab disclosed that the attackers were members of Lashak-e-Taiba. Kasab trail was delayed due to legal issues as many indian lawyers were unwilling to represent him.

A Mumbai Bar Association passed a resolution proclaiming that no one of its members would represent him but the chief justice of India stated it clearly that he would need a lawyer for a fair trial . Eventually he found a lawyer but he was replaced due to a conflict of interest. on 29th August 2012, the Indian supreme court upheld the death sentence of Kasab.

Kasab filed a mercy petition to the president of India which was rejected on 5 November. Kasab was hanged in pune’s Yerwada jail in secret on 21st of November 2012 at 7:30 am and naming the operation as ‘X’.
