According to CNN-News18 journalist Rahul Shivshankar, the government had freed mastermind SA Basha and two others despite the Supreme Court dubbing their crimes as 'atrocious' and denying them bail.
Basha was then sentenced to life imprisonment under Section 120-B (conspiracy) of the IPC read with additional IPC offences, including murder. Now his nephew identified as Mohammad Thalka has been arrested for his involvement in the recent car blasts that happened in the city on October 22.
