77 persons are accused in attacks that killed 56
A local special trial court in Ahmedabad has concluded the trial against 77 persons accused of carrying out serial blasts in the city in 2008, which killed 56 persons and inured 200 others. Ahmedabad was rocked with as many as 21 blasts across the city, including at the civil hospital’s trauma centre, in a span of 75 minutes. After the protracted trial that began in December 2009 and lasted almost 13 years, the special trial court judge A.R. Patel on Friday concluded the hearing and reserved his verdict.More Related News
