The National Investigation Agency took up the investigation on March 13, 2013 and set up a special court at Cherlapally central jail. The NIA has taken the statements of 157 witnesses and submitted a report to the court after verifying 502 documents.
The arguments in the court were completed on November 7, 2016, confirming that the Indian Mujahideen (IM) was behind the blasts and pronounced judgment against five operatives.
The court issued a death sentence to Asadullah Aktar aka Haddi, Zia Ur Rehman aka Waqas, Mohammad Tahseen Aktar aka Hassan, Ahmed Siddibappa Zarra aka Yasin Bhatkal and Ajaz Shaik. However, the prime accused Riyaz Bhatkal was still at large. Currently, all the five accused are in Cherlapally jail.
