Ajmer Bombing: Special court to pronounce verdict on Wednesday

Jaipur: After a long gap of nine years, the special court, hearing the Ajmer Dargah bombing case, will pronounce its verdict against the two convicts on Wednesday.

It may be recalled that on October 11, 2007, a blast had taken place at the Sufi Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti Dargah here, in which Bhavesh Patel and Devendra Gupta were found guilty by the court.

Earlier, the verdict against the culprits was scheduled to be delivered on March 18, but the special court of National Investigation Agency (NIA) deferred the verdict till March 22.

On March 8, the court held Devendra Gupta, Bhavesh Patel and Sunil Joshi (already dead) guilty of conspiring and executing the bombing at the religious place, in which three people died while 15 others got injured.

The special court had acquitted Swami Aseemanand and six others in the case.
