| Verdicts in 1993 blasts case to conclude tomorrow | | |
MUMBAI, DEC 3
The first phase of verdicts in the 1993 bomb blasts case will conclude tomorrow with the TADA court here expected to decide the fate of six accused.
The court has so far found 94 accused, including film actor Sanjay Dutt, guilty and acquitted 23 people due to lack of evidence.
Six accused, allegedly involved in throwing grenades on a fishermen's colony in Mahim, an attack that left three persons dead and injured six, have been summoned tomorrow for the pronouncement of the verdict against them.
Meanwhile, the Maharashtra Minorities Front has said it will challenge the acquittal of Sanjay Dutt of terrorism cahrges under the TADA Act in the Supreme Court.
Front President Farooq Alam said in a release that members of the Muslim community had been convicted under TADA while the actor had been acquitted of charges under this law though he was found guilty under the Arms Act.
Alam said he would move the Supreme Court, praying that Muslims had been discriminated against.
Those convicted by the court include members of gangster and prime accused Tiger Memon's family such as his brothers Yakub Memon, Yusuf Memon, Essa Memon and his sister-in-law Rubina Memon.
