What was the 26/11 incident?
A Pakistan based terrorist group, Lashkar e Taiba (LeT,) spread violence and terror in Mumbai, the financial hub of India. Approximately 166 people were killed in the attack and many were injured. The families who lost their loved ones are still waiting for justice against the 10 armed men who were responsible for the attack. Of the 10 terrorists behind the 26/11 attack, 9 terrorists were killed and the lone survivor, Ajmal Amir Kasab, was caught and sentenced to death at Yerwada Central Jail in Pune in 2012.

The ghastly attacks, which began on the 26th of November 26, 2008, lasted for four days in several locations including Taj Mahal hotel, the Oberoi hotel, the Leopold Cafe, the Nariman (Chabad) House, and the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus train station.
