2008 Ahmedabad bomb blasts: SC stays execution of death penalty of Indian Mujahideen operative
India’s Supreme Court has halted the execution of Ahmed Bawa, also known as Abbu Abubakar Barelvi, a member of the Indian Mujahideen convicted for the 2008 Ahmedabad bombings. A three‑judge bench, comprising Justices Vikram Nath, A. G. Masih and Sandeep Mehta, issued a notice to the Gujarat government after Bawa challenged the High Court’s decision, pausing the death sentence.
