April 28, 2014 11:21

JUST IN: The Supreme Court has stayed the execution of death sentence of Mohammed Arif, convicted in the 2000 Red Fort attack case.

Arif, who was a member of the banned Laskar-e-Tayiba, was sentenced to death for killing three security personnel on the night of 22 December 2000.

He was awarded the death sentence by the trial court in November 2005, which was confirmed by the Delhi High Court in 2007.

Arif challenged this order in the Supreme Court, which in October 2011, upheld the high court decision.
