  • Red Fort attack case: Ashfaq gets death penalty

    New Delhi, Oct. 31 (PTI): A Delhi Court today awarded death sentence to Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorist Mohammad Arif alias Ashfaq convicted in the December 2000 Red Fort attack case.

    Additional Sessions Judge, O P Saini, awarded life imprisionment to two key conspirators, Nazir Ahmed Qasid, and his son, Farooq Ahmed Qasid, who were held guilty of waging war against the state along with Ashfaq.

    Ashfaq's Indian wife, Rehmana Yousuf Farooqui, who was held guilty of harbouring the main accused, has been given a seven-year jail term.

    Accused Bagar Mohsin Baghwala, Sadaqat Ali and Matloob Alam, who were pronounced guilty by the Special Judge on October 24 along with the other four accused, have also been sentenced to seven-year rigorous imprisonment.
