Indian Lawyers Refuse To Defend Ajmal Kasab
Saturday, December 13, 2008 at 1:14 pm
MUMBAI: Lawyers in Mumbai are refusing to take on the case of the lone surviving gunman from last month’s attacks in India’s financial hub, citing moral and ethical concerns, legal officials said.
The decision presents Maharashtra state, of which Mumbai is the capital, with a problem as police continue their investigation into the attacks.
Dinesh Mota, a member of the state’s legal aid cell that provides free counsel, was asked to defend the accused, Mohammad Ajmal Kasab, after Mumbai’s Bar Association decided that its members would not take on the case.
