Seven years after the scooter bomb blast in Saroornagar Sai Baba temple, the trial has begun in the special court for Jubilee Hills car bomb blast at Nampally.
Though this court was set upto exclusively try the Jubilee Hills blast case, other important cases too have been referred there.
Nine persons who were injured in the Sai Baba temple blast have appeared as witnesses in the court so far.
The Crime Investigation Department (CID) said that the case is split against four accused -- Abul Nayeem of Saidabad, Altaf Ahmed, Irfan Ali Khan and Abdul Razak Masoor -- and they are being tried. The other key accused like Abdul Bari alias Abu Hamza and his aides are absconding and are suspected to be hiding in Pakistan. A CID official said, "There are nine suspects. Two of the accused -- Azam Ghori and Syed Aziz -- were killed in separate encounters in Ranga Reddy and Karimnagar."
Charges were framed against the accused on the allegations of attempt to murder, murder read with Sections 3, 4 and 5 of Explosive Substance Act and Section 3 of the POTA.CID said there is no criminal conspiracy charge against the four who are being tried.
Abdul Razak, who allegedly has links with the Lashkar-e-Tayyaba (LeT) was arrested by the Delhi police and he was shifted to Hyderabad. Razak, a native of Nizamabad, had been to Dubai. Saroornagar blast took place on November 21, 2002, killing two persons and injuring 20 others. The terrorists had set off a time bomb near the parking lot of the Sai Baba temple.
