Motorcycle rally pays homage to 26/11 victims
May 21st, 2010 - 5:13 pm ICT by IANSMumbai, May 21 (IANS) Around 100 motorcycle riders Friday rallied across the affected spots of 26/11 to pay tribute to the victims and hail the judiciary for sentencing Pakistani terrorist Ajmal Amir Kasab to death.
The riders gathered at the Trident Hotel and travelled to locations touched by terror, including the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, the Leopold Café and the Nariman House.
The rally concluded at the Gateway of India, near where the terrorists had that day stormed luxury hotels for a killing spree.
The bike rally was organised by entertainment channel UTV Bindass.
“Through this initiative, we salute the judicial system for the rapid action taken over Kasab,” said a rider. Kasab was sentenced to death May 6.
Kasab was one of 10 Pakistani terrorists who sneaked into Mumbai Nov 26 and unleashed mayhem over three days, killing 166 Indians and foreigners.
