NEW DELHI: With more and more evidence emerging of the Congress government at the Centre in 1984 having promised “safe passage” to the then Union Carbide chief, Warren Anderson, who visited India immediately after the Bhopal gas tragedy, the Bharatiya Janata Party has demanded that the ruling party stop telling lies and own up the mischief and the unpardonable mistake.

India will demand the extradition of former Union Carbide CEO Warren Anderson from the US, Union Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee said here on Saturday.

"We would request the US government for the extradition of Warren Anderson, Union Carbide CEO at the time of the Bhopal gas tragedy," said Mukherjee.

Anderson, 89, is now retired and lives in the US.

He headed the Union Carbide when the company's pesticide plant in Bhopal leaked gas December 2-3, 1984, killing over three thousand people instantly and many more later.

MUMBAI, June 5 (UPI) -- A Pakistani man sentenced to death in India for his part in the terrorist attacks on Mumbai has asked for legal counsel to appeal his conviction.

Mohammad Ajmal Amir Kasab was one of a small group of militants responsible for a three-day reign of terror in Mumbai in 2008 that left 173 people dead. He was the only one to survive the attack.

The sole surviving gunman of the Mumbai (Bombay) attacks of November 2008 has requested legal representation to appeal against his death penalty.

Over 170 people died when militants including Mohammad Ajmal Amir Qasab attacked various targets.

His request to appeal against his conviction and sentence is under consideration and a new lawyer will be appointed within days, officials say.

Qasab was sentenced last month after he was found guilty of mass murder.
'Not satisfied'

Mumbai Mumbai lawyer Mobin Solkar will represent Abdul Samad Bhatkal, charged with involvement in the German Bakery blast in Pune.

Two days after the ATS arrested Samad in Mangalore, his mother, uncle and aunt arrived from Karnataka to look for a lawyer; they contacted several before Solkar agreed.

“The family contacted me and I have assured them I will help in whatever way possible,” said Solkar. Solkar had earlier represented the family of Abdus Suban Qureshi, a Mumbai-based diploma holder in electronics accused of involvement in various bomb blasts.

Public prosecutors in Mumbai recently received training from the cyber crime investigation cell (CCIC) of the Mumbai police on cyber crime issues. Each of the prosecutors involved in the training are dealing with cyber crime cases.

The training focused largely on cyber crime and the information technology (IT) Act. Despite the implementation of the Act, most cyber crime cases do not even appear before the courts, with many victims unwilling to file cases. The training was designed to help the prosecutors understand ways to work towards a conviction in cyber crime cases.

Mumbai: The defence team of Pakistani gunman Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab, who was sentenced to death on Thursday, did not get a chance on Friday to explain the judgment to him, and seek his opinion on whether to appeal before the Bombay high court.

Pawar and More were undecided whether they should try to meet Kasab on Monday.
