1993 train bombings: CBI to challenge acquittal of Abdul Karim Tunda

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) will move the Supreme Court against the acquittal of alleged terrorist Abdul Karim Tunda in the 1993 serial train blasts case.

On Thursday, a TADA (Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act) court in Ajmer acquitted Mr. Tunda citing insufficient evidence. However, it sentenced two other co-accused, Aameer-Ul-Uddin and Irfan Ahmed, to life imprisonment. They were found involved in the explosions triggered on December 5-6, 1993, in five trains, including a Rajadhani Express, running on various routes.
