Gujarat HC Upholds Death Sentence for 38, Life Term for 11 Convicts '2008 Ahmedabad Blasts'

A division bench of justices A Y Kogje and Samir Dave rejected all appeals against the order of the lower court and upheld its verdict confirming the sentences to members of the terror outfit



Indian Mujahideen (IM) in the case. 

On July 26, 2008, a series of 21 bomb blasts ripped through Ahmedabad in a span of 70 minutes, killing 56 persons and injuring 200 others. Some hospitals in the city were also targeted. 

A special court in 2022 sentenced 38 IM members to death. The court had also sentenced 11 other convicts to life imprisonment.
