Maharashtra Home Minister R R Patil, accompanied by Leader of Opposition in state Assembly Khadse on Wednesday visited the jail here, where Kasab is lodged.
"The Leader of Opposition asked him (Kasab) how was he feeling. He replied that 'jaisa boya, waisa kata (I have reaped what I sowed)," Patil told reporters later.
"More than this, I also did not want to speak (to Kasab)," Patil said.
The minister said he found the jail overcrowded. "It has a capacity of 781 inmates but in reality, around 2,000 prisoners are lodged here," Patil said.
The staff strength at the jail is also less than one-third of the sanctioned strength, the minister said.
"We will shift some of them to the new Taloja jail which has come up in adjoining Raigad district," he said.
The state government would also come up with a policy on jail security in view of the towers that have come up in the vicinity of the jail, he added.

Very nice that home minister visited him. But whatever punishement should be given make it fast don't delay as every second he has fear of death and the people of our country will also get confidence that they got justice without waiting for long as said in one movie tarique pe tarique...
Its such a shame that the Politicians who doesnt have time to visit their own people who have voted them to office are visiting a bloody criminal I wonder whether our value is even less than these terrorists.
Look at the crime rate in India , Now there is no place left in jails also govt must take some preventive step to curb the crime
Kasab is being treated as KHASADMI is painful. What values we are following up against hundreds of lives gone within a hours attack. Should we not finish this drama at once? Spending lot of money at the cost of our beloved victims.
