Special public prosecutor Ujwal Nikam had earlier expressed displeasure over the debate on expenditure, saying it was unwarranted and uncalled for. "The quantum of expenditure is not important; what's important is the fact that our law-enforcing agencies were able to catch Kasab alive. We were able to establish the role of Pakistan in crossborder terrorism because he was alive" he said.
Endorsing the views expressed by Nikam, a senior home department bureaucrat said high expenditure was inevitable in such cases. "He was in our custody for several days. It's a fact that we spent a huge amount on him. We feel now that he has been hanged, the government should make the entire information on Kasab public," he added.
The bureaucrat said then Union home minister P Chidambaram visited Mumbai after Kasab was caught alive. Chidambaram had instructed the state home department that all possible measures should be taken to protect Kasab as the possibility of an attempt on his life could not be ruled out. "A view was taken that if Kasab was killed, there would be no proof with India to prove that he was a Pakistani national," he said.
On the actual expenditure incurred on Kasab, the bureaucrat said the figure could go well beyond Rs 60 crore. While the daily expenditure incurred on security in and around the jail where Kasab was lodged and on officials and lawyers was Rs 9 lakh, Rs 8 crore was spent to build a special cell in prison and another Rs 1.5 crore to construct a special jail ward at J J Hospital . "Initially, he was lodged in the anda cell. Later, he was shifted to the specially built cell, which is so strong that even if a truck laden with explosives rams into it, it will not break," he said.
Further, the bureaucrat said Rs 1 crore was spent on special infrastructure in and around the Arthur Road jail; the state also spent a huge amount on litigation in the sessions court, high court and finally the apex court. "We will have to pay nearly Rs 30 crore to the ITBP for guarding Kasab . Besides, two companies of the SRPF and sleuths from the crime branch, too, were deployed ," he added.
The bureaucrat said a huge sum was spent on Kasab's medical treatment and special diet. "Kasab was entitled to Rs 25 per day towards food, but the government spent more in view of his ill health," he said.
