A designated POTA court will decide the quantum of punishment to be awarded to three convicts on Thursday who were found guilty for carrying out twin bomb blasts at the Gateway of India and Zaveri Bazaar in 2003.

Special Prevention of Terrorism Act Court  had last week convicted Ashrat Ansari, Hanif Sayed Anees and his wife Fehmida Sayed  for their role in carrying out the blasts in which 52 persons were killed and 100 injured.

The convicts face life imprisonment or death penalty, and Special Public Prosecutor has said he would ask for stringent punishment.

 

The court would hear arguments of prosecution and defence lawyers before giving its verdict on the sentence.
