Mohammad Afzal Guru, a Jaish-e-Mohammad terrorist was the mastermind behind the attack on the epitome of democratic India, the Parliament in December, 2001. Five heavily-armed terrorists drove into the Parliament complex and opened fire. Nearly 9 people, mostly from the security forces were reportedly killed. The terrorists were shot dead.

In 2004, Afzal was sentenced with capital punishment,  however it had been in abeyance, due to his mercy plea in 2006. He was executed today at Tihar Jail at 8 am, after his plea was rejected by the President of India. (Wishesh AarKay)
