The court has scheduled the hearing on the quantum of punishment of those convicted on Thursday.

New Delhi: Four of the five accused in the 2008 Jaipur bombings, have been found guilty of involvement in the explosions that had killed around 71 people, by a special court in Jaipur, under different sections, including Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.  Judge Ajay Kumar Sharma, convicted the four accused named Mohammad Saif, Mohammad Sarvar Azmi, Mohammad Salman and Saifur Rahman. Another accused in the case named Shahbaz Hussain, was acquitted after being given benefit of doubt. The court has scheduled the hearing on the quantum of punishment of those convicted for Thursday. A series of eight synchronized blasts had rattled the Rajasthan capital on May 13, 2008, within a span of fifteen minutes. The tragic incident had left over 183 people injured. Also watch: Indian Mujahideen co-founder Yasin Bhatkal, is suspected to be the mastermind behind the explosions in the city, which took place about 11 years ago. The bombs went off near historic monuments at one of the busiest times of the day. One of the bombs exploded close to Jaipur's most famous landmark, the historic Hawa Mahal. The first two blasts had occurred at Manak Chowk and as the crowd ran towards Johri Bazar another two blasts near the National Handloom Centre blocked the exit point, pushing back the panicked crowd towards Tripolia Bazar and Chandpol area, where subsequent blasts caused maximum fatalities. Later, Indian Mujahideen had claimed responsibility of the attack.
