Indian Mujahideen co-founder Yasin Bhatkal, a Pakistani national and three others were given death penalty by an NIA court on Monday in the 2013 Hyderabad twin blasts case.
Apart from Bhatkal, the other convicts are: Asadullah Akhtar alias Haddi, Tahseen Akhtar alias Monu, Pakistani national Zia ur Rehman alias Waqas and Ajaz Shaikh.
The twin blasts in Dilsukhnagar area in Hyderabad on February 21, 2013, claimed 18 lives and injured over 130 people. The blasts occurred within a distance of 100 metres at crowded places in Dilsukhnagar on the evening of February 21, 2013.
The NIA, which probed the case, concluded that the blasts were engineered by the IM operatives. Out of the six accused in the case, the investigating agency arrested five. Main accused Riyaz Bhatkal, alias Shah Riyaz Ahmad Mohammed Ismail Shahbandari, is absconding.
For the last one year, the trial had been going on in the special court at Cherlapally Central Prison on the outskirts of the city where the five accused are currently lodged. The NIA produced 158 witnesses, seized 201 pieces of material evidence and furnished over 500 documents in the court.
Six months after the blasts, Yasin and Asadullah were arrested from an area in Bihar close to the Nepal border. Three other accused were arrested subsequently and the NIA filed two chargesheets against the five accused.
Yasin Bhatkal, named for the coastal Karnataka town where he was born, had risen over a decade to become the IM’s executioner-in-chief, playing a key role in blasts across India that killed scores.
He became IM’s India operations head after founders Iqbal and Riyaz Bhatkal fled to Pakistan in 2008 after the Batla House encounter in Delhi.
The 33-year-old is suspected to be the mastermind of five blasts as well as the 2010 German Bakery blast in Pune that killed 17 and the Dilsukhnagar blasts. He is also suspected to have played an active role in the 2006 Mumbai serial train blasts in which 187 people were killed.
