The Telangana High Court upheld the death penalty for five Indian Mujahideen operatives convicted in the 2013 Dilsukhnagar blasts case. The court rejected their appeal and affirmed their involvement in the twin bombings that resulted in the deaths of 18 individuals and injuries to more than 100. Initially, a special NIA court in Hyderabad had handed down the death sentences to the convicts in 2016. This recent decision by the High Court reinforces the severity of the punishment for those responsible for the heinous terrorist attack.
