NEW DELHI: A Jaipur court on Tuesday awarded life imprisonment to four accused for their involvement in the live bomb detection case linked to the serial bomb blasts that devastated the city in May 2008.
All four accused were Shahbaz Hussain, Sarwar Azmi, Mohammad Saif, and Saif-ur-Rehman in the 2008 Jaipur serial bomb blast.
Notably, Saif-Ur-Rehman, Mohammed Saif, Mohammed Salman and Sarwar Azmi had previously been convicted in December 2019 for the eight serial blasts and sentenced to death, a verdict that was overturned by the Rajasthan high court in March 2023.
The state govt and victims of the blasts later filed special leave petitions against the high court's decision, which is currently pending before the Supreme Court.
Saif-Ur-Rehman and Mohammed Saif were lodged at Jaipur central jail in the live bomb detection case. However, Sarwar Azmi was out on bail. Shahbaz Ahmed, who is convicted in the live bomb case, was actually acquitted by the trial court in the eight serial blasts case.
