Fact check<\/h4>\n

Kasab, 25, was executed on November 21, 2012. The death penalty was upheld on charges<\/a> of criminal conspiracy, waging war against the nation and various other provisions of the Indian Penal Code and the anti-terror law, Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.<\/p>\n

A few weeks prior to his execution, Kasab’s plea for clemency was rejected<\/a> by President Pranab Mukherjee on November 5, 2012. As per a 2012 report by The Indian Express<\/a>, more than 203 people had signed a petition addressed to President Pranab Mukherjee, requesting a commutation of the death sentence.<\/p>\n

Mumbai-based lawyer Yug Chaudhry had written to the President on October 28, 2012.<\/p>\n

“In the first batch sent to the President, 203 people had signed the petition. About 15-20 more signatures were obtained in the second batch that was also sent to the President,” Chaudhry had told The Indian Express.<\/p>\n

In a conversation with Alt News, he confirmed that Akhilesh Yadav was not one of the signatories to the petition. He further added, “I am not willing to answer any further questions on the topic because the signatories have been harassed enough.”<\/p>\n

Several social media users including BJP leader Arun Yadav<\/a>, therefore, falsely claimed that Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav signed the petition seeking pardon for Kasab’s death penalty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
