NIA sources say that Base Movement, a sister organization of Al Qaeda, had plotted all these blasts.

 

Yakub Memon was convicted over his involvement in the 1993 Bombay bombings by Special Terrorist and Disruptive Activities court on 27 July 2007. His appeals and petitions for clemency were all rejected and he was executed by hanging on 30 July 2015 in Nagpur jail.

 

Another terrorist Burhan Wani was a commander of Hizbul Mujahideen, a Kashmir-based militant outfit. He was against Indian rule in Kashmir. He was killed in an encounter with the Indian security forces on 8 July 2016.

 

So as a vengeance for these two deaths, the Base Movement has blasted in the court premises. Last year NIA, in a joint operation with Telangana Police, had arrested Abbas Ali (27), Mohammed Ayub Ali (25), Dawood Sulaiman (23), Shamshuddeen (25) and Kareem (26) for involving in the activities of Base Movement.
