Ahmedabad blasts: HC cites scale of terror, conspiracy to uphold death penalty for 38 IM operatives
The high court rejected all appeals filed by the convicts and confirmed the February 2022 judgment of the special court, which had sentenced 38 members of the Indian Mujahideen (IM) terror outfit to death and 11 others to life imprisonment.
Explanation in simple terms: A High Court has confirmed death sentences for 38 members of Indian Mujahideen (a terror group) involved in bomb blasts in Ahmedabad. The court decided to uphold these death penalties because of the serious scale of the attacks and the organized conspiracy behind them. This means these individuals will face execution as punishment for their roles in the bombings that killed and injured many people.
