Nine years after seven RDX bombs
kept in Mumbai suburban trains exploded killing 188 people, a Special
Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) court is likely to pronounce
its verdict on Friday (September 11). Special MCOCA judge Yatin D Shinde had
concluded the trial on August 19 last year. In a trial that lasted for eight
years, the prosecution examined 192 witnesses, including eight Indian Police
Service (IPS) and five Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officers as well as
18 doctors.
The defence lawyers examined 51 witnesses and one person was called
as a court witness. The deposition made by witnesses runs into around 5,500
pages. Seven RDX bombs had exploded in the first class coaches of Mumbai's
suburban trains on July 11, 2006, killing 188 people and injuring 829. The
blast occurred between Khar Road-Santacruz, Bandra-Khar Road, Jogeshwari-Mahim
Junction, Mira Road- Bhayander, Matunga- Mahim Junction and Borivali. Kamal
