All accused in 2013 Bodh Gaya blasts get life imprisonment

TIL Desk/National/Patna/ A special National Investigation Agency court has sentenced all accused in the 2013 Bodh Gaya blasts to life imprisonment. On May 25, the NIA court had convicted five Indian Mujahideen terrorists in the case.

The world-renowned Buddhist pilgrim town of Bodh Gaya was rocked by a series of explosions on the morning of July 7, 2013 which had left a number of people, including some Buddhist monks, injured.

A sixth accused in the case — Taufiq Ahmed — was less than 18 years of age and sentenced to three years in remand home by a juvenile court last year which found him guilty of involvement in the case.
