Anbil Mahesh, a prominent figure in the DMK party, has sparked controversy by claiming that Ajmal Kasab, the lone surviving perpetrator of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, was treated better in custody than ordinary detainees. Mahesh made this assertion during a recent public address, drawing criticism from various quarters for his remarks.
