Jadhav, who miraculously escaped the murderous attack, in which police officers Hemant Karkare, Ashok Kamte, Vijay Salaskar were killed, said, "The entire world was expecting rpt expecting death for Kasab, so my expectation was also not different."
However, unlike other victims who demand that Kasab must be hanged immediately, Jadhav said he respected the Indian judicial system which gave equal rights to every person living on the Indian soil, including Kasab.
"If Kasab is not happy (with the verdict) then he can file an appeal (in the Supreme Court)," Jadhav told PTI. However, reacting to the observation made by the trial court earlier that his statement was not entirely credible and he seemed to be sentimental in giving evidence, Jadhav said that he had expressed his sorrow in the court.
"I was just telling the court what had happened and what I had seen and that I saw Kasab killing my superiors." Jadhav said that had it been any other person in his place he would have testified in the same way he (Jadhav) did.
"I witnessed the ambush very closely," he said.
Meanwhile, 11-year-old Devika Natwarlal, who was injured in indiscriminate firing by Kasab at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) on the night of November 26, 2008 said, "I want Kasab to be hanged in full public view."
"No other punishment other than death is acceptable to us as he has shattered our lives and happiness, Devika, who had received a bullet injury, on her right leg as a result of which she became handicapped, told PTI ahead of Bombay High Court's verdict on Kasab and his two associates, today.
It is not only she who is the victim of the carnage but also her brother, Devika said. "My brother helped other victims injured in the carnage by giving them aid in hospitals and is now bed ridden," she said today.
Her father said, "the doctors asked my 16-year-old son Jai to help the injured people and he volunteered to give aid but he was not given any protection, not even gloves because of which he developed infection. Jai is now suffering from chest tuberculosis," Natwarlal said.
"His spinal cord has gone for a toss due to this," says Natwarlal. "I am happy that Devika's deposition was commended by everyone but nobody even enquired about my son," he said.
