Two others acquitted in the 2007 bombing case; sentencing on Monday
Two Indian Mujahideen (IM) members among seven accused in the 2007 Hyderabad twin bombing case were convicted by a special court inside the Cherlapally Central Prison here on Tuesday.
Forty-four persons were killed and 68 injured in the blasts at Lumbini Park and Gokul Chat Bhandar on August 25, 2007.
Anik Shafique Syeed and Mohammed Akbar Ismail Chowdhari — both from Pune and close associates of IM founder Riyaz Bhatkal — were pronounced guilty by Judge T. Srinivas Rao of the Second Additional Metropolitan Sessions Court. Two other accused — Farooq Sharfuddin Tarkash and Mohammed Sadiq Israr Ahmed Shaik — were acquitted for lack of evidence. All four hail from Maharashtra.
Three other accused — Riyaz Bhatkal, Iqbal Bhatkal and Amir Reza Khan — are absconding and believed to be in Pakistan.
The quantum of punishment, as also the judgment on Tarik Anjum, accused of harbouring the perpetrators in New Delhi and other places, will be pronounced on Monday, said Special Public Prosecutor Challa Seshu Reddy, who represented the counterintelligence wing of the Telangana police that probed the case.
The media were not allowed inside the courtroom.
