A special Mumbai court Monday pronounced Ejaz Pathan, a former aide of mob boss Dawood Ibrahim, guilty for his complicity in the 1993 Mumbai blasts that killed 257 people and injured hundreds.
The court also held Pathan’s close associate Mohammad Dawood Khan guilty in the same case.
Pathan, the one-time Dawood gang’s western Indian operation-in-charge and close confidante of the absconding blast accused created a ruckus in the Terrorism and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) court by making “critical” remarks against the prosecuting and defence lawyers.
The March 12, 1993 serial blasts also destroyed properties worth Rs.300 million.
After a long-drawn trial, which started in January 1994, the TADA court has been pronouncing verdicts since Sep 12. It has so far found 79 of the 123 accused on trial guilty.
Are these guys in colusion with the terorists and the ISI (Pakistani secret service)?
Are the punishments enough to deter these guys?
