New Delhi: A court in Patna today framed charges against three people, including Haider Ali alias 'Black Beauty', for allegedly being involved in Bodh Gaya serial blasts.
Besides Haider, the court framed charges against Taufqiue Ansari and Mujibullah under Indian Penal Code, Explosive Substances Act and Unlawful Activities Prevention Act.
The trio had earlier been charge-sheeted for their alleged involvement in serial blasts at the 'Hunkar' rally in Patna in October last year, which was addressed by the BJP's then Prime Ministerial candidate, Narendra Modi.
The NIA, which had earlier filed a charge-sheet against the three accused on September 11 this year, had used various scientific methods to solve the serial bombings in the holy city on July seven last year that left five people injured.
The accused is alleged to have worn a monk's robe while planting the bomb.
Ali and his associates were members of SIMI, the banned terror organisation, which had been motivating and recruiting young boys from Ranchi and other places by way of lectures and showing jihadi videos related to alleged atrocities on Muslims across the world, including on Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar.
The accused procured material from different places and prepared cylinder bombs and executed the serial blasts. The scientific investigation, which included forensic analysis and DNA finger printing, had "established" the involvement of the arrested persons in the case, the agency said.
