The Hyderabad High Court has recently confirmed the death penalty for five Indian Mujahideen (IM) operatives in connection with the 2013 Dilsukhnagar twin blasts case. The blasts, which occurred in a busy market area of Hyderabad, resulted in the death of 18 people and left more than 130 injured. The court’s decision to uphold the death penalty comes after the convicts filed an appeal challenging the lower court’s verdict. The five operatives – Yasin Bhatkal, Asadullah Akhtar, Zia-ur-Rahman, Tahseen Akhtar, and Ajaz Shaikh – were found guilty of planting the bombs that ripped through the crowded market on February 21, 2013. The court noted that the blasts were a well-planned conspiracy aimed at creating terror and panic among the public. The confirmation of the death penalty for the IM operatives sends a strong message against terrorism and upholds justice for the victims of the heinous attack. The verdict has been welcomed by the families of the victims and the authorities as a step towards ensuring accountability and deterrence against such acts of violence. The case has been closely watched as a significant development in the fight against terrorism in India. The court’s decision underscores the commitment of the Indian judiciary to bring perpetrators of terrorist attacks to justice and serve as a deterrent to those who seek to disrupt peace and harmony in the country.
