Justice Upheld: High Court Confirms Death Penalty for 2013 Dilsukhnagar Blast Convicts

The Telangana High Court has confirmed the death sentences for five convicts in the 2013 Dilsukhnagar bomb blasts, as praised by BJP MLA T Raja Singh. The attack claimed 18 lives and injured over 150. Convicts plan to appeal in the Supreme Court, emphasizing their belief in the justice system.

In a significant judicial decision, the Telangana High Court has upheld the death penalty verdict for five individuals convicted in the 2013 Dilsukhnagar blasts. BJP MLA T Raja Singh lauded the ruling, appreciating law enforcement's efforts in maintaining integrity under political pressure.

The catastrophic event, which occurred on February 21, 2013, tragically resulted in 18 fatalities and injured over 150 people. Originally decreed by an NIA special court in December 2016, the convictions have now been reinforced by the High Court, despite a active attempt to overturn the verdict through a criminal appeal petition.

Defense counsel Mohd Shujaullah Khan announced plans to contest the High Court's decision in the Supreme Court, highlighting confidence in India's judicial process. The persistent effort to challenge the ruling stems from a staunch belief in justice, while the search continues for the first accused, Mohd Riyaz alias Riyaz Bhaktal, who remains at large.
