1 Militant Played Dead ?

The young terrorist photographed by Sebastian D'Souza (of Mumbai Mirror) in Victoria Terminus (CST) was captured alive. The 21-year old youngster, now identified as Azam Amir Kasav, was captured while trying to escape with his accomplice in a hijacked Skoda.
According to reports, which I quote:
"But in that encounter, Azam’s colleague was killed and he himself was injured in the hand. He pretended to be dead giving rise to the news that two terrorists had been killed. However, as the ‘bodies’ were being taken to Nair Hospital, the accompanying cops, figured that one of the men was breathing."

Doesn't anyone check for a pulse before clearing the encounter area?

Perhaps they assumed he was dead because that's what they wanted to be ---- dead!

I hope and pray that you and your family are safe and well.

Yes. We were safe when all this took place. Luckily my wife had not gone downtown to do any shopping that day.
they were all on the other side of town practising for the xmas program.
This whole thing has been so crazy. everyday something new...a week after all this took place, they found a bag full RDX at the railway station where one of the shootouts occured. imagine that! they had left a bag behind amongst the rest of the luggage at the outstation area.
