Delhi HC blast: Trial to commence from Monday

October 14, 2012 11:54

The trial against Wasim Akram Malik, arrested by the National Investigation Agency for his alleged role in the Delhi high court attack last year, will commence in a court in New Delhi on Monday.

District judge H S Sharma, who had framed charges against Malik under the provisions of the stringent anti-terror law and the Indian Penal Code, will start recording the evidence in the case.

The court had paved the way for trial against Malik saying there was prima facie evidence against him under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, the Explosive Substance Act and the IPC for the September 7, 2011 terror attack at the high court's reception in which 15 people were killed and 79 were injured.
