26/11, 2008 - India faced a gruesome terror attack after 10 LeT terrorists marched into the city of Mumbai through sea from Pakistan, and in the course of the next four days, killed over 150 innocent citizens and security forces while injuring more than 300.

Ten years on, the country paid its homage and tributes to the martyrs, who lost their lives in the attack in the financial capital of India. Leading the way in paying tribute to the people who were killed was former Indian opener Virender Sehwag.
