NEW DELHI: Two Kashmiri men, alleged to be Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorists <http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/search?q=Lashkar-e-Toiba%20ter\ rorists> , were on Wednesday sentenced to 10 years rigorous imprisonment by a trial court for carrying explosives in battery-operated toys to trigger blasts on the eve of New Year in 2007 in the national capital and for facilitating terrorist activities. Additional Sessions Judge Dharmesh Sharma imposed a fine of Rs 1.5 lakh each on Shamiullah Sheikh (23) and Ali Mohd Sheikh (38) both brothers besides the jail term. The court held them guilty under various provisions of the Explosive Substances Act <http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/search?q=Explosive%20Substance\ s%20Act> , the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act <http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/search?q=Unlawful%20Activities\ %20Prevention%20Act> and IPC. The prosecution, however, could not prove the charges of waging war against the country and that of being the member of banned terrorist organisation LeT. "Convicts have been found in possession of IED. The prosecution has been able to prove that the convicts were carrying explosives in battery-operated toys with detonators and dry cells... The convicts were nabbed before they could drop the IED at some vantage point in densely-populated areas,'' the court noted. In its judgment, the court pointed out that the prosecution has proved that the convicts were out to carry out blasts in the capital on the New Year's day. "The prosecution has been able to probe that the convicts were acting in pursuance of a criminal conspiracy so as to cause bomb blasts,'' the court said. During the arguments on sentence, defence counsel M S Khan sought leniency for the convicts on the ground that they had been in jail for four years and their father had been killed by terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir as he did not support them. Public Prosecutor Neelam Narang, on her part, sought severe punishment for the convicts saying that they were involved in terrorist activities and deserved no leniency. According to the prosecution, a team of special cell officers of Delhi Police led by inspector M C Sharma had apprehended the convicts from New Delhi Railway Station <http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/search?q=New%20Delhi%20Railway\ %20Station> on December 31, 2006, on a tip off received by then assistant commissioner of police Sanjeev Yadav. The police arrested them after they alighted from Andaman Express train and recovered the explosives carried in toys from Kashmir. The duo hailed from Baramullah in Jammu and Kashmir. <http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/Two-get-10-yr-RI-for-plan\ -to-bomb-city-/articleshow/6904170.cms> [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
