Mumbai: Ajmal Amir Kasab, prime accused in the 26/11 case, has written a letter to the Supreme Court challenging the death penalty awarded to him by the Bombay High Court.
The letter written by Kasab in jail has been sent to the Supreme Court.
166 people died in the Mumbai attacks on November 26, 2008, following which Ajmal Kasab and two Indian nationals were tried by a special court in Mumbai.
