Pakistani Mohammad Ajmal Amir Kasab, the lone survivor of the terrorist team which carried out the Mumbai 26/11 attacks is an adult, a team of JJ Hospital doctors told the special court hearing the case.

The medical team told special judge Tahiliyani that Kasab has crossed the age of 20, and was an adult when he carried out the attack. The team conducted dental analysis, ossification and also took X-rays.

The judge had ordered a medical probe into Kasab’s age after his lawyer argued that he was only 17 at the time of the attack, and should be tried in a juvenile court.

Kasab’s age is crucial as if it is established that he was a minor (less than 18) at the time of attack, the maximum punishment that he can get is just three years imprisonment.
