A special nia court sentenced seven individuals, including prime accused T Nazeer, to seven years in prison for a 2023 Bengaluru grenade and ammunition recovery case. The accused had allegedly conspired to trigger blasts in the city and were radicalized by Nazeer, the mastermind of the 2008 Bengaluru blasts. Two others received sentences under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
