"Mir Quasem Ali wants a bit more time to decide about the mercy petition. The government will start the process to execute the death sentence if he does not seek mercy or the president rejects his petition. The Jamaat financier is currently in a condemned cell in Kashimpur prison, where his family members went on Wednesday to meet him. Since his arrest, Mir Quasem has been kept at Kashimpur jail. However, with Mir Quasem still yet to decide on the mercy plea, the government has not determined where he will be hanged.
