Ahmedabad; Special court designated for the speedy trial of the 2008 Ahmedabad serial bomb blasts case sentenced 38 of the 49 convicts to death under provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) and Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code. The 11 others were sentenced to life in jail till death.
Pronouncing the judgment, Special Judge AR Patel awarded a compensation of Rs 1 lakh to those who had died in the blasts. He also awarded a compensation of Rs 50,000 for victims with serious injuries and Rs 25,000 for those with minor ones.
On February 8, a Gujarat court convicted 49 accused and acquitted 28 others in the case. The court had ended the trial in the more than 13-year-old case in September last year.
Over 200 were injured in 21 bomb blasts that hit Ahmedabad city within a span of 70 minutes on July 26, 2008.
The police had claimed people associated with the terror outfit Indian Mujahideen (IM), a faction of the banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), were involved.
It was alleged Indian Mujahideen (IM) terrorists had planned and executed these explosions as a revenge for the 2002 post-Godhra riots in Gujarat.
The trial in the case began in December 2009 against 78 people connected with the Indian Mujahideen after the court merged all 35 first information reports, or FIRs. The number of accused came down to 77 after one of them turned approver.
When will 2002 Gujrat pogrom killers will get the noose?
When will lynching killers get death penalty?
Why no justice for minorities?
Well I don’t think
The law means nothing to the minorities, because the law does not work for the minorities and or the poor, it never has in the 60 plus years I have lived. If you’re not filthy rich “you mean nothing” in fact, you are a target.
God has left the regions of human law. Lucifer was happy to help out!
