The 2008 Ahmedabad bombings were a series of 21 bomb blasts that hit Ahmedabad, India, on 26 July 2008, within a span of 70 minutes. Fifty-six people were killed and over 200 people were injured.[3][4] Ahmedabad is the cultural and commercial heart of Gujarat state and a large part of western India. The blasts were considered to be of low intensity and were similar to the Bangalore blasts, Karnataka which occurred the day before.[6][7][8] This bombings were done by Pakistani Islamic Terrorist group Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami.[9]
Several TV channels had received an e-mail from a terror outfit called Indian Mujahideen claiming responsibility for the terror attacks;[10][11] Islamic militant group Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami, however, has claimed responsibility for the attacks.[12] The Gujarat police arrested the suspected mastermind, Mufti Abu Bashir, along with nine others, in connection to the bombings.[13]
In a verdict given by Ahmedabad special court in February 2022, of the 77 accused, 28 were acquitted for lack of evidence, 11 were sentenced to life imprisonment and 38 were sentenced to death.[14][15]
