Pune Terror Attack

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has filed a charge sheet against seven ISIS members accused of being involved in a conspiracy to carry out terror attacks in different parts of the country, an official said on Sunday.

Security was tightened at the Pune railway station after the police control room here received a call informing about a possible terrorist attack, but it turned out to be a hoax, an official said on Saturday.

A 24-year-old journalist from Jammu and Kashmir was beaten up in Maharashtra's Pune. The incident is yet another amid reports of assault on Kashmiris after the Pulwama terror attack.

For the select policemen involved in the covert operation to shift 26/11 terrorist Ajmal Kasab from Mumbai to Pune, the phrase "Parcel reached Fox" signalled that the van carrying him had reached the jail where he was to be hanged the next day.

President Pranab Mukherjee rejected two mercy petitions in the last week of May. The dismissal of the appeals comes just weeks before his term ends and takes the total number of mercy petitions rejected by him to 30. The cases involved the rape and murder of a four-year-old girl by three men in Indore in 2012, and a 22-year-old woman in Pune in 200...

A low intensity blast took place in front of a police station in central Pune around 2:30 pm today. Three people sustained minor injuries in the explosion.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan and Home Minister RR Patil today paid tributes to martyrs at a Police Memorial in Mumbai on the fifth anniversary of the Mumbai terror attacks.

Alleged Laskkar-e-Toiba operative Sayed Zabiuddin Ansari, alias Abu Jundal, wanted to take part in the 2008 Mumbai terror attack by landing in the city along with others, according to his confession.

Sources in the NIA, which has a 12-day custody of one of India's most wanted men, said Bhatkal has given leads about four such blasts - Ahmedabad (2008), German Bakery in Pune (2010), Bangalore's Chinnaswamy Stadium (2010) and Mumbai's Zaveri Bazar (2011).

A Pune court has convicted Mirza Himayat Baig, the only man arrested for the German Bakery terror attack in Pune. He will be sentenced on April 18.

As possible links are seen between the Hyderabad blasts on Thursday evening and the serial blasts in Pune last August, one of the key names to emerge from an intricate network of terror is that of Sayed Maqbool an alleged bomb-maker for the terror group Indian Mujahideen.

Ajmal Amir Kasab was hanged in Pune on Wednesday for his role in the November 2008 Mumbai terror attack in which 166 people were killed. From then to now, a timeline:

Pakistan-born terrorist Mohammed Ajmal Kasab, who was hanged early on Wednesday morning at Yerwada jail in Pune, had no last wish, refused contact with his family and left no will. The 25-year-old was the sole surviving gunman from the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks in which 166 people were killed.

Delhi Police have announced a reward of 15 lakh on Yaseen Bhatkal, the Indian Mujahideen operative who is alleged to have masterminded the 2010 terror attacks in Pune, Delhi and Bangalore.

The National Investigation Agency or the NIA was formed after the Mumbai attacks in November 2008 specifically to probe and tackle terror-related cases in the country. But the two major terror attacks post 26/11 -- Pune and Mumbai - were not handed over to the NIA.
