Father of a daughter D&#39;Souza, 60, is a resident of Kunnamwar Nagar in Vikroli. He had spent 33 years in photojournalism. <img alt="" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/nov/sdsouza.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 696px;" /> S D&#39;Souza On 26/11, attack day, D&rsquo;Souza heard the gunfire and rushed to the CST. The terrorists were firing on commuters. With his life on the line, D&rsquo;Souza was the first one to capture Qasab on camera. Photographs taken by D&rsquo;Souza and his testimony in the court played a part in helping the Mumbai police get death sentence for Qasab. D&rsquo;Souza recollects, getting angry at the memory, &ldquo;There were several armed policemen on the spot but all of them were scared to shoot Qasab. At one point, I even imagined that I should have had a gun in my hand instead of a camera.&rdquo; In April this year, D&rsquo;Souza quit his job, citing tiredness from years on the field. &ldquo;Ab bas hua. Ab main thak gaya.&rdquo; (I am tired and I need rest). I have not made any future plan. I will take life as it comes,&rdquo; he says. The government has shown amnesia towards his efforts. It has been four years that the government promised to allot him a flat. That promise is still to be fulfilled. &ldquo;Recently I met CM Prithviraj Chavan who said that the matter is under process,&rdquo; finished D&rsquo;Souza, whose pictures spoke louder than words on the night that changed Mumbai forever.u00a0

Sebastian D'Souza, a former photo editor in a city-based tabloid who had taken pictures of Ajmal Amir Qasab at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) commented on the hanging of Qasab that "this was expected."
