April 18, 2013 17:01

Mirza Himayat Baig, the lone arrested accused in the 2010 German Bakery blast case, was on Thursday sentenced to death by a Pune court.

On Monday, Baig had been found guilty on charges of murder and criminal conspiracy in the bombing that had left 17 people dead and over 60 injured.

Five other accused in the case are still absconding.

The ATS had filed a charge sheet in the case on December 4, 2010 against Baig and six others including Zabiuddin Ansari alias Abu Jundal, one of the handlers of 26/11 terrorists, Fayyaz Kagzi, Yasin Bhatkal, Iqbal Bhatkal, Riyaz Bhatkal and Mohsin Chaudhari.

Baig's counsel Abdul Rahman has said he would move the high court against the verdict.
