Bring back and punish Dawood, say kin of Mumbai blast victims

June 16, 2017 19:16

"Justice will prevail only when Dawood Ibrahim is brought back to the country and punished."

This was how the relatives of some the victims of the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts reacted to the conviction of six persons accused in the case by a TADA court in Mumbai.

Some them chose to term the verdict as "half victory" as the delivery of justice was inordinately delayed.

The six convicted by the the special TADA court, in the second leg of the trial, include the blasts mastermind Mustafa Dossa and extradited gangster Abu Salem.

Kamla Malkani, a Worli resident who was hurt in the blast at Century Bazaar, said she was not too enthused by the verdict.

"I fail to understand why so much money is being spent on these culprits at the expense of taxpayers. Full and final justice will prevail when the key mastermind Dawood Ibrahim faces trial in India and gets punishment," she said.

Tushar Priti Deshmukh, who lost his mother in the blast at Century Bazaar, shared the feeling.

"Justice will prevail when the mastermind Dawood gets punishment," Tushar said.
