India on Sunday ruled out handing over Ajmal Kasab, the lone terrorist caught during the 26/11 strikes or his associate Fahim Ansari to Pakistan, saying “justice” was taking its course in the case.

“We are trying Kasab and others here in India following the Mumbai attacks,” Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao said, when asked about Pakistan approaching Interpol for arresting Kasab and Ansari for trial there.

“The case against Kasab has proceeded over the past few months. The verdict is expected by May 3,” she said.
