Ajmer Blast Case

The CBI will challenge before the Supreme Court the acquittal of Abdul Karim Tunda in the 1993 serial train blasts case by a special court in Ajmer, officials said Friday.

68-year-old convict of the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case, Jalees Ansari, went missing on Thursday morning while being on parole, officials said.

A convict in the 2007 Ajmer Dargah blast case, in which three people were killed, was accorded a hero's welcome in Bharuch on Sunday by a large crowd, including members of the VHP, RSS and BJP, after being released on bail.

A Hyderabad court has granted bail to Aseemanand in the 2007 Mecca Masjid blast case that killed over a dozen people in the Telangana capital on the condition that does not step out of the city without the court's permission.

Defence counsel Jagdish Rana said the magistrate deferred the verdict and posted the matter for Wednesday.
