New Delhi: Nearly 27 years after 13 people were killed and 38 injured in a bomb explosion at Delhi’s bustling bustling Lajpat Nagar market, the Supreme Court has handed down life sentence to four convicts for the remainder of their lives without remission, saying they executed an “international conspiracy” to “destabilise” India by carrying out the blast.
The top court, which dwelt in detail on the severity of the offence, however, did not agree with the prosecution’s plea that the convicts be awarded the death penalty for snuffing out innocent lives in the blast on May 21, 1996, news agency PTI reported.
