CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: The Telangana High Court has upheld the death penalty for five individuals convicted in the 2013 Dilsukhnagar twin bomb blasts case, reaffirming the gravity of the terrorist act that claimed 18 lives and injured over 100 people. The court dismissed the appeals filed by the convicts, agreeing with the trial court’s earlier judgment that deemed the act as “rarest of the rare.” The verdict was delivered after a comprehensive review of the evidence presented by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), which had meticulously detailed the involvement of the Indian Mujahideen operatives in orchestrating the deadly explosions.
The twin blasts, which occurred near a busy bus stop in Hyderabad’s Dilsukhnagar area, shook the nation and sparked widespread outrage. The court’s ruling has been welcomed by the victims’ families and the public, who have waited over a decade for justice. Legal experts see the judgment as a strong message against terrorism and a reaffirmation of the Indian judiciary’s commitment to national security. The decision also highlights the importance of efficient investigative and prosecutorial efforts in high-profile terrorism cases. The convicts now have the option to appeal to the Supreme Court and seek presidential clemency, though the current ruling strengthens the case for capital punishment.
