According to Ranchi Express, the Jharkhand Police headquarters has reportedly warned all police stations in the Maoist-affected areas of the State that the Pakistan’s external Intelligence Agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), is training Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres in Bangladesh. An unnamed senior police officer said that there were ample intelligence inputs on Maoists being trained by the ISI. "The batch of 40 Naxalites (left-wing extremists) that left for Bangladesh recently would get three months training in carrying out subversive operations and guerrilla warfare. There were chances that the Maoists may return with some sophisticated arms, not in possession of our State police," he said.

He was a terror icon in Chhattisgarh as well as in Maharashtra and sneaked into Dongargarh a few days ago from his forest hideout in Bastar, probably for medical treatment," an unnamed police official told IANS. "Aitu was involved in several offences, including an attack on a police party last year in which several policemen, including a DSP, were injured and another attack in which a train engine was set afire at Darrekasa," added the Rajnandgaon district Superintendent of Police, P.

Four persons, including two Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) militants, were convicted by a court in New Delhi on July 5 for possessing explosives and conspiring to wage war against the country, Press Trust of India reported. The other two persons, held guilty under various provisions of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Explosive Substances Act, are members of the outlawed Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI). The quantum of sentence for HM militants, Gulzar Ahmed Wani and Mohiuddin, and SIMI activists, Feroz Rafi and Mumtaz, convicted under section 122 of the IPC for "preparing to wage war" against the State will be pronounced on July 6, today. The HM militants, both from Baramulla in Jammu and Kashmir, and the SIMI activists from Uttar Pradesh were arrested at New Delhi Railway Station on July 30, 2001. Police had then seized a huge haul of RDX, grenades, launchers, detonators and other explosives from them. The Hizb militants had reportedly come to Delhi to deliver the explosives to the SIMI activists. With their arrest, police had claimed to have solved six bomb blast cases, including the 2001 Sena Bhavan blast. However, the court on February 23 acquitted them in all these cases for lack of evidence.

Indian Express reports that, on July 5, a special Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA) court in Mumbai dismissed a plea by an accused in the 2003 Gateway of India and Zaveri Bazaar blasts who questioned the applicability of POTA after its repeal. The accused, Arshad Ansari, cited a May 18 judgment by the Supreme Court in which Justice Markandey Katju expressed an opinion about the constitutional validity of TADA after its repeal. Dismissing the application, special POTA Judge S. S. Joshi upheld the prosecution’s argument that the opinion expressed by Justice Katju was not final, and therefore, not binding. She also upheld the prosecution’s argument that TADA, which is at par with POTA, has been held constitutional even after its repeal in a couple of apex court judgments.

Mishra, an Inspector General of Police in the Border Security Force, said, "Our first and foremost duty is to cover the Indo-Myanmar border, without covering our border any amount of counter-insurgency operations inside the border areas won't serve any purpose."

Australian Police have no evidence against Mohammed Haneef, an Indian doctor held for 11 days without charge over failed car bomb attacks in Britain, but say he has had "significant contact" with the suspects, according to Times of India. Civil rights groups and lawyers have reportedly called on Haneef to either be charged or set free, but Prime Minister John Howard said on July 12 that he was not uncomfortable with Haneef's detention without charge under tough anti-terrorism laws. "I'm happy with the laws because I sponsored them. I defend them. We do need to arm ourselves with the laws that are being applied at the present circumstance," Howard told local radio.

Kode rejected the application by 16 of the 24 convicts in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case, seeking a stay on its proceedings, reports Times of India. On June 19, the convicts had filed an application saying that the TADA, under which the trial was conducted, expired on May 24, 1995, and there was no rational ground to suggest that acts committed before and after should be treated differently. Judge Kode held that the convicts were only citing an opinion given by a Supreme Court judge that questioned the applicability of TADA after it had lapsed. Defence lawyer Farhana Shah filed another application urging a stay on the sentencing till a fresh appeal is filed in the Supreme Court.

According to The Hindu, the Union Minister of State for Home, Sri Prakash Jaiswal, stated on July 13 that efforts to tackle the Maoist insurgency were lacking in Chhattisgarh. He said that the State was not getting its police personnel trained adequately to tackle the problem and it was a matter of concern that many Central Reserve Police Force personnel and some police personnel were killed in the recent Maoist attack on July 9 in the State. Citing the example of Andhra Pradesh, Jaiswal said that Chhattisgarh should take a cue from Andhra Pradesh, where the problem had been contained to a large extent. According to him, a massive development initiative, launched by the Andhra Pradesh government in the Maoist-affected regions had served as an answer to the problem of left-wing extremism.

At the same time, there are other aspects (to be) borne in mind to deal with this issue. If it has the economic aspect, we shall have to deal with it. If it has a psychological aspect, we have to deal with it. If they have a feeling that socially they are discriminated against, we have to deal with this," Patil said.

Australian police on July 14 charged an Indian doctor allegedly connected to the failed car bombings in Britain with supporting terrorism. Australian Federal Police said they have charged Mohammed Haneef, who has been in custody since he was arrested trying to leave the country on July 2, 2007, according to Times of India. "He has been charged with providing support to a terrorist organisation contrary to Section 102.7(2) of the Criminal Code Act 1995," the Australian Federal Police said in a statement. Police late on July 13 withdrew a request to a court to extend the period they could hold him without charge, giving them 12 hours to question him. Media reports said the charges alleged that Haneef had provided a mobile phone SIM card to members of a terrorist organisation. Haneef was arrested on a tip-off from British police in the eastern city of Brisbane after seven people, including at least four foreign doctors, were detained in Britain over three failed car bomb attacks in London and Glasgow.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, speaking at a press conference in Mumbai, said that the serial blasts in Mumbai were carried out by terrorists with support from across the border, according to The Hindu. He further warned Pakistan that it would be difficult to carry forward the peace process if it did not control terrorist elements operating from its territory. Prime Minister said, “I have explained it to the government of Pakistan at the highest level that if the acts of terrorism are not controlled, it is exceedingly difficult for any government to carry forward what may be called as normalisation and peace process." Commenting on whether talks on confidence-building measures with Pakistan will continue, he added, “Pakistan, in 2004, had solemnly given an assurance that Pakistani territory will not be used to promote, encourage, aid and abet terrorist elements directed against India. That assurance has to be fulfilled before the peace process or other processes can make progress.”

The Jammu and Kashmir Government has told the Centre that it did not favour demilitarisation in the State till violence dies down and the situation reverts to that which prevailed before militancy erupted in 1990, according to Press Trust of India. In a presentation to a Central panel headed by Defence Secretary Shekhar Dutt, which visited the State recently, the Government had acknowledged that there was a gradual decline in violence but that was not enough to justify the reduction of troops. Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad said, "there has been no change in my stand, as from day one after taking over as Chief Minister, I have maintained that there has been a gradual decline in militant violence. But this does not mean that we should go in for a reduction of troops. We should not think about such a move till the violence level comes down to as low as in 1988-89."

We are firm in our resolve to fight terrorism and to end the black mail of terror in this peace-loving State.” Admitting there were some hurdles in talks with Pakistan, Dr Singh, however, said New Delhi will continue the dialogue with Islamabad "despite difficulties, in this spirit because I genuinely believe that there is no alternative but to work for building peace.

While indicating that the Line of Control could be a Line of Peace, Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh said that the dialogue with Pakistan would continue “despite difficulties” and the “blackmail” of terror, according to Daily Excelsior. Addressing a special convocation of the Jammu University in Jammu on July 15 after being conferred with a D Lit by Chancellor and Governor Lt Gen (Retd) S K Sinha, Dr. Singh said India remained committed to its resolve to end terrorism and ruled out any division or fresh partition of Jammu and Kashmir. "As I have stated earlier, borders cannot be changed, but they can be made irrelevant. There can no be question of divisions or fresh partitions, but the Line of Control can become a Line of Peace with free flow of ideas, goods, services and people," he stated. Elaborating on his theory of making Jammu and Kashmir a symbol of India-Pakistan co-operation, he said the State’s natural resources could be used for the benefit of the people. "They (resources) need no longer be points of contention or a source of conflict. We could, for instance, use the land and water resources of the region jointly for the benefit of all the people living on both sides of the LoC. Similarly, there are vast opportunities to jointly work together for the mutual benefit of our people," he said.

Zee News reports that the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has agreed to the Karnataka government's demand to assist it in upgrading its police machinery and logistics. Quoting official sources, the reports said that the state would be immediately provided with grants under the security-related expenditure (SRE) scheme so that it can upgrade its police force and set up an Anti-Terrorist Squad exclusively for Bangalore. A meeting between the MHA officials and their counterparts in the state took place last week, in which the state government officials were asked to send a preliminary proposal for release of interim funds. This would be followed by a detailed proposal including all plans to upgrade the state police force. The previous government led by N Dharam Singh had submitted a proposal to the Centre seeking INR 320 million to counter left-wing extremists. The same proposal was resubmitted by the present H D Kumaraswamy government, but was rejected by the Union government, saying there was no need for special funds to be given to the state as it could manage with its own resources.

The designated Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) court, on July 18, awarded death sentence to three aides of prime convict Tiger Memon- Parvez Nazeer Ahmed Shaikh, Mushtaq Tarani and Abdul Ghani Turk- in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case, reports The Hindu. Judge P.D. Kode held Parvez Nazeer Ahmed Shaikh guilty under Sections 302 and 120-b of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Section 3(2)(i) of TADA and pronounced the death penalty on all three counts. He was also given varying sentences for offences under the Explosive Substances Act, the Explosives Act, the IPC and the TADA Act, and asked to pay a fine of INR 5,25,000. The court said Shaikh was deeply involved in the conspiracy. Tarani was convicted for attending a meeting organised by Memon at Hotel Taj Mahal on March 4, 1993 when the entire conspiracy behind the blasts was finalised. Tarani was also found guilty of doing a reconnaissance of the Stock Exchange building and BMC building along with Memon and others to select targets to plant the bombs. "He (Tarani) was a member of the conspiracy from February 1993 till the end. He was also associated with Memon. He was not affected by the riots, and therefore has no justification," said Judge Kode and sentenced Tarani to death on the count of conspiracy. Tiger Memon’s driver Abdul Gani Turk, who had parked an RDX-laden jeep in front of a restaurant in Century Bazaar, Worli was held responsible for the death of 113 people and injuries to a further 227 — the highest casualties in a single explosion that day. He was given a triple death penalty and fined INR 1,75,000. Rejecting pleas made by the three convicted that "the revenge against the demolition of the Babri Masjid and atrocities against Muslims" should be "considered as a mitigating circumstance", Judge Kode said: "There is no material to show that he was directly affected by it (the riots). It has been held that his act for taking revenge against the atrocities committed against Muslims is negative. These acts (the blasts) brought disgrace to Islam and created unnecessary enmity between Indian citizens. For committing such a heinous act, sentence of death has been announced." "Those who died were not connected with the demolition of the Babri Masjid. They were citizens of Mumbai who were totally innocent, Kode further said." The judge said the sentences are subject to confirmation by the Supreme Court.

The Joint Boundary Working Group (JBWG) of India and Bangladesh, which held talks for two days at Dhaka in Bangladesh, failed to resolve the longstanding issues including border demarcation, according to Shillong Times. While India proposed for demarcating 6.5 kilometers of undemarcated border prior to resolving the other issues, Bangladesh asked for a ‘comprehensive solution’ to all the issues. There are reportedly three kilometers of undemarcated border at Lathitila in Kulaura of Sylhet, two kilometers at Muhurirchar in Porshuram of Feni, and 1.5 kilometers at Daikhata-Dumabari in Berubari of Lalmonirhat in Bangladesh.

The Hindu reports that the designated Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) Court on July 19 sentenced three more persons to death for planting bombs in different locations in Mumbai on March 12, 1993. Shahnawaz Qureshi and Asgar Mukadam were sentenced to death for conspiracy as well as for committing terrorist acts. Shoib Ghansar, who was involved in the plan just a day before the explosions, was given death sentence for planting a bomb, and life imprisonment for conspiracy. The sentences are subject to Supreme Court confirmation. Asgar Mukadam, found guilty of all charges including under 120–b (criminal conspiracy) and 302 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), and 3(2)(i) of the TADA, had driven and left an RDX-laden car at Plaza theatre in central Mumbai near the Shiv Sena headquarters, Sena Bhavan. The subsequent explosion killed 10 persons, left 36 injured and caused property damage worth INR 8.7 million. He also dropped other bomb planters at two targets, Centaur Hotel and Sea Rock Hotel. He was sentenced to death on three counts, and given other sentences for offences under the IPC, the TADA Act, the Explosive Substances Act and the Explosives Act, besides a total fine of INR 4,25,000. Shahnawaz Qureshi had planted the car bomb at Plaza cinema. He was also found guilty of acquiring training in Pakistan and landing RDX. Convicted of the charges, apart from dropping the other bomb planters at target spots, Qureshi was given death sentence on all three counts, other sentences and a total fine of INR 3,75,000. Shoib Ghansar, a relative of Mukadam, had planted a scooter bomb at Zaveri Bazar killing 17 persons. Ghansar, who worked as salesman in a shopping complex in central Mumbai, was cleared of the charge of participating in the original plan. Delivering the death penalty, Judge P D Kode said: "Though he has not participated in the conspiracy and preparation, he still committed the heinous act of putting the bomb knowing full well. His confession says that after planting the scooter at Zaveri Bazaar he went to a nearby mosque and asked for pardon for his wrong deeds. It means he knew what he was doing, and so the death sentence for committing a terrorist act." He was also awarded life imprisonment under Section 120-b of the IPC and fine of INR 2,75,000.

Former additional customs commissioner of Raigad region of Maharashtra, Somnath Thapa, was sentenced to life imprisonment with a fine of INR 200,000 for his role in the conspiracy. Thapa had facilitated landing of arms and ammunition including RDX at Shekhadi in February 1993. He was found guilty under section 120(B) of the Indian Penal Code and section 3(3) of the TADA. Judge P.D. Kode noted that Thapa committed a terrorist act by not taking any action despite having knowledge of the conspiracy. He said that he actively aided and colluded with prime absconding Dawood Ibrahim, Tiger Memon and Mohammad Dossa to get the contraband into the city. The court did not award the death sentence as he is suffering from lung cancer and prosecution did not press for maximum punishment, the judge observed. Thapa had been called to court last week but had not appeared citing medical reasons.

The Hindu reports that the designated Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) court on July 20 sentenced three more persons in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case. Iqbal Shaikh was sentenced to death for involvement in the conspiracy. He had parked a scooter in central Mumbai near Dadar, which did not explode. He also had taken another planter Naseem Barmare to Sahar airport where Barmare dropped hand grenades. Although Iqbal was found not guilty for terrorist acts resulting in death, the Judge said, "If a bomb does not explode because of technical problems then the accused will not get the benefit. Death sentence is awarded depending on the act, intent and furthering the object of the conspiracy." Iqbal was also found guilty of acquiring weapons training, conspiracy meetings, abetting terrorist acts and preparing vehicle bombs at the Al Husseini building on the intervening night of March 11 and March 12 and has to pay a fine of over INR 200,000.

The designated Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) court on July 24 sentenced to death three convicts - Zakir Hussain Shaikh, Feroz Amani Malik, Abdul Akhtar Khan - who had lobbed grenades at the Fishermen’s Colony in Mahim on March 12, 1993, killing three persons and injuring six. They were convicted for conspiracy and committing a terrorist act. An accomplice, Moin Qureshi, who was 17 at the time, was spared the death sentence because of his "tender age" and was sentenced to life imprisonment on three counts - conspiracy, committing a terrorist act and murder. While Qureshi was convicted for acquiring weapons training in Sandheri and Bhor Ghats, Shaikh, Malik and Khan were convicted for acquiring weapons training in Pakistan. All four of them had driven to Mahim Causeway from Al-Hussaini building in a van which also had on board Salim Rahim Shaikh, Bashir Khairulla (both sentenced to life) and Mehboob Liyakat Khan (absconding accused). Each one, except Salim Shaikh, was given two grenades each by Javed Chikna (absconding accused). Of them, Bashir could not dislodge the pin of his grenade and hence could not throw one at any of them. "It is immaterial whose act directly led to the death of victims. All of them had the same objective: to kill people. So all have been held vicariously liable. While each was lobbing hand grenades, they were also aware that their companions were lobbing hand grenades," special judge P. D. Kode said.

Indian Express reports that the designated Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) court on July 25 sentenced Farooq Pawale to death for parking RDX laden vehicles inside the Air-India building and then near a petrol pump adjacent to Sena Bhavan on March 12, 1993. The subsequent explosions had killed 24 people. Pawale had also surveyed the stock exchange building and the Air-India building with two absconding convicts, Mohammed Tainur and Irfan Chougule two days before the blasts. Tainur and Chougule had also parked an RDX laden car in the basement of the stock exchange building. The blast there killed 84 people and injured 214. Pawale also participated in the landing of arms and ammunition in Shekhadi. Not only was he present at the two strategy sessions, he was also there at Al-Hussaini building in the morning when the RDX was being filled in vehicles, which were later used as car bombs. Pawale was sentenced to death on five counts—conspiracy, on two counts of the charge of committing a terrorist act resulting in death, and on two counts of the charge for murder. Judge P. D. Kode said, "He was a major operator. He caused explosions at two places. He was also present when the Bombay Stock Exchange was surveyed. He was present during the landing, training and meetings conducted by the co-accused. There cannot be any other sentence more adequate than death."

Indian Express, quoting six Al Badr Mujahideen militants arrested in the Kutch area of Gujarat on July 13, reported that some Pakistan-based Islamist terrorist groups are planning to set up base in the coastal areas of Karnataka, specifically the Karwar area. The area houses INS Kadamba, a strategic Naval base. Al Badr Mujahideen was reportedly in the process of circulating fake currency in the area and in later stages planned to transport weapons before setting up base in the region. S. C. Tyagi, Chief of Staff (West Coast) said, "The men revealed that Kutch was a test run, while their actual target was Karnataka, especially Karwar, as they were plotting to set a base there. They wanted to circulate fake currency, bring in weapons, RDX, ammunition and establish a network. Karnataka seems to be a soft target because of the weak security system in the coastal areas."

Indian Express and The Hindu reported that the designated Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) court on July 27 sentenced Yakub Memon, brother of key conspirator and man behind the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts, fugitive Tiger Memon, to death for his role in the conspiracy. Yakub was convicted for conspiracy and organising the logistics of the blast and was held guilty under Section 120-b of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 3 (3) (aiding and abetting a terrorist act), and 5, 6 (illegal possession of arms and ammunition) of the TADA. He was given sentences of life imprisonment, 14 years rigorous imprisonment and 10 years RI. A total fine of INR 3,75,000 was also imposed. Yakub’s sister-in-law Rubeena was sentenced to life for aiding and abetting a terrorist act and allowing a van registered in her name to be used to transport arms, ammunition, and explosives used in the blasts. “Considering the role played by her and the fact that she is a lady, she is sentenced to life,” Judge P. D. Kode said. The court observed, “Though the flat and garage used for conspiracy meetings was in Rubeena’s name she is not held liable,” adding that in Muslim families men took decisions. Yakub’s brothers Essa and Yusuf were also sentenced to life and asked to pay a total fine of INR 1,50,000 after being found guilty for allowing their flat and garage to be used for the conspiracy. Though prosecution pleaded for death, Yusuf, who has been suffering from schizophrenia since 1991, was given life in consideration of his illness. Essa’s sentence, too, was “reduced from death to life” since he suffers from morbid obesity and has a brain tumour.

Pioneer reports that on July 30, more than a year after the July 11, 2006-Mumbai serial bomb blasts, the prosecution formally opened its case in the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) court. In the detailed submission, Special Public Prosecutor Raja Thakre named Azam Cheema, the Bahawalpur (in Punjab province of Pakistan)-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) commander, who is also an operative of the Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence, as being the absconding mastermind in the case. Thakre said that the conspiracy to engineer the blasts had been hatched several months before the actual incident. Several of the accused had been trained in handling arms and explosives and funds required for triggering the blasts had been routed illegally to the blasts' perpetrators based in India, he said. Following the Prosecution's submission, defence lawyers will present their side in the court on July 31, after which charges will be framed against the accused. All the 13 accused have been booked under MCOCA. Of the accused, Faisal Shaikh and Junaid have been named as among the key conspirators in the case.

The Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) on July 30 withdrew its call for thousands of migrants to quit Jammu and Kashmir within a week, which had led to hundreds of people fleeing, according to Reuters. The demand was reportedly prompted after two non-Kashmiris were arrested on suspicion of raping and killing a teenage girl. The HM announced the ultimatum on July 27 after two migrant labourers were among six people arrested. "For the misdeeds of a few, all non-Kashmiris working in the Kashmir valley cannot be punished… The migrant workers face no threat from us ... but criminal elements among non-locals must leave," said a statement issued by the banned group.

Authorities in Nepal have arrested a Pakistani national who was carrying more than $250,000 in fake Indian currency, officials said on July 31. "The fake currency totalled Indian Rs 10.2 million ($252,000) in Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 denominations," Dhak Bahadur Karki, a senior security official at the Kathmandu airport told AFP, adding the bills were hidden in soap bar wrappers. "This is one of the biggest seizures of counterfeit currency that I know of," said Kathmandu police officer Upendra Kanta Aryal.

Indian Express reports that the Additional District and Sessions Judge in Chandigarh awarded death sentence to Jagtar Singh Hawara of the Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) and Balwant Singh, two of the six declared guilty in the Beant Singh assassination case. Three other convicts, Gurmeet, Lakhwinder and Shamsher Singh, were awarded life imprisonment for their involvement in the criminal conspiracy, while the sixth convict, Naseeb Singh, was given 10 years of imprisonment under the Explosives Act along with a fine of INR 10,000. However, since Naseeb, the oldest of the accused at 72, had already undergone more than the sentence awarded to him, he was freed soon after the sentencing. The court said Hawara and Balwant Singh first agreed to kill the Punjab Chief Minister Beant Singh and then made use of the remaining accused by playing with their religious sentiments in the backdrop of the prevailing situation in Punjab at that time. Beant Singh and 17 others were killed by a human bomb, Dilawar Singh, outside the Punjab and Haryana Civil Secretariat on August 31, 1995. The mastermind behind the assassination, Hawara, had arranged finances and explosives for the human bomb, while Balwant Singh, a policeman, had smuggled the human bomb into the secretariat building.

The designated Terrorist & Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) court, on July 31, sentenced Hindi cinema actor Sanjay Dutt to rigorous imprisonment (RI) for six years and imposed a fine of INR 25,000 in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case for illegal possession of a prohibited weapon, reports The Hindu. The prosecutor had argued that Dutt had acquired an AK-56 and a pistol in January 1993 after the riots in Mumbai from Abu Salem, and was in contact with Anees Ibrahim, brother of Dawood Ibrahim, the mastermind behind the serial blasts. He had later destroyed the AK-56. Dutt was arrested on April 19, 1993, and spent 16 months during his two jail terms before getting bail. One of Dutt’s three associates, Russi Mulla, who had unknowingly kept Dutt’s pistol, was released under the Probation of Offenders Act. Another associate, Kersi Adjania, was sentenced to two years RI, but was given bail and Yusuf Nulwalla was sentenced to five-year RI and fined INR 25,000 for possessing the weapon and attempting to destroy the evidence. Judge P. D. Kode ruled that the accused were not immature at the time of offence and for every citizen, the laws of nation should stand first. He noted that the weapon could have resulted in mass destruction and it was an eminently dangerous act. Kode remarked about Sanjay’s case saying "not only did he commit the offence he also made others commit an offence of destroying it." The Judge also drew attention to Dutt illegally possessing a pistol in September 1992 and being introduced to Dawood Ibrahim in Dubai and even attending a party where gangsters Iqbal Mirchi, Chota Rajan and Sharad Shetty were present. Noting that possessing AK-56 was not his first offence, Judge Kode rejected his probation application.
