Mumbai: The designated TADA court hearing the 1993 Mumbai blasts case on Tuesday acquitted two accused but held three others guilty of offences under Customs Act.
Accused No. 19 Yeshwant Nagoo Bhoinkar and accused No. 33 Abbas Dawood Sheikh and No. 56 Shahjahan Ibrahim Shaikhdhare were found guilty of accepting money and landing explosives under Section 111, 135 (b) of Customs Act.
However, they were acquitted under TADA as the court held that they had no knowledge that the consignment was that of RDX and arms.
Accused no. 48 Mohiuddin Abdul Kadar Cheruvattam and accused No. 80 Ismail Abbas Patel both not guilty.
Moinuddin was charged with participating in a conspiracy meeting at Dubai, but prosecution failed to prove the charge and he was therefore acquitted.
Ismail was charged with arranging finance for co-accused Shaikh Aziz Ahmed for his travel to Pakistan via Dubai for arm training, as the charges were not proved, he too was acquitted.
With the conviction of Bhoinkar, Abbas and Shahjahan, total number of accused found guilty has risen to 35.
