Mohammad Ajmal Amir Iman aka Kasab, the Pakistani terrorist who was captured alive during the terrorist attacks in Mumbai on November 26, has written to the Pakistan High Commission seeking legal help.
Pakistan, however, continues to be in a denial mode.
Kasab's letter has been forwarded by the Mumbai police to the External Affairs and the Union Home Ministries for necessary action, Joint Commissioner of Police Rakesh Maria told media persons in Mumbai on Saturday.
