Our police officers and jawans sacrificed their lives in this ordeal. Their memory remains an everlasting inspiration. Salute to the heroic martyrs and innocent victims of the terrorist attack."

On November 26, 2008, a group of 10 Pakistani terrorists unleashed mayhem on the streets of Mumbai, targeting key installations, including hotels, a Jewish centre, and a railway station. The attacks claimed 166 lives, including 18 security personnel, and left over 300 injured. The terrorists carefully chose public installations frequented by Europeans, Indians, and Jews.  

Nearly four years after the Mumbai terror attack, Ajmal Kasab, the sole surviving Pakistani gunman, was hanged to death at the Yerawada central prison.
