Of them, 16 including Yasin Bhatkal and his close aide Asadullah Akhtar have been arrested by the probe agencies while 11 others are absconding.

Two of the accused—Mohd Atif Ameen and Mohd Sajid— were shot dead by the special cell in the September 19, 2008 Batla House encounter.

13 suspected members of IM are facing trial in cases of September 2008 Delhi serial blasts that had claimed 26 lives and left 135 people injured.

Five cases were lodged in connection with the blasts at Gaffar Market in Karol Bagh, Barakhamba Road in Connaught Place, M-Block Market in Greater Kailash and recovery of a bomb near India Gate.

All the five cases were clubbed by the trial court for the purpose of framing of charges and trial, saying, “They arise from the series of the same transaction.”
