49 convicted, 28 acquitted in 2008 Ahmedabad serial blasts case

The Hindu  

After a protracted trial that lasted almost 13 years, a special court on Tuesday delivered its verdict, holding 49 guilty in the 2008 serial blasts case in which Ahmedabad was rocked by a series of bomb blasts that left 56 dead and 200 injured. Patel delivered the verdict in the most high-profile serial blasts case in Gujarat. The police said people associated with banned terror outfit Indian Mujahideen, a faction of radicals of the outlawed Students Islamic Movement of India, were allegedly involved in carrying out the serial blasts in which 56 innocent people were killed and over 200 sustained serious injuries. During the lengthy trial that saw many twists and turns, the prosecution examined over 1,100 witnesses before Special Judge Patel, who began the trial in 2009, a year after the blasts.
