Abu Jundal among 12 people convicted in Aurangabad arms haul case
Reports said the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) court acquitted eight others.
Jundal is said to be one of the key plotters in the 26/10 terror attacks.
The trial, which had resumed in 2013,concluded in March this year.
"This was a conspiracy after the 2002 Gujarat riots to eliminate then Gujarat CM Narendra Modi and VHP leader Pravin Togadia," the MCOCA court said.
On May 8, 2006, a Maharashtra ATS team chased a Tata Sumo and an Indica car on Chandwad-Manmad highway near Aurangabad and arrested three terror suspects and seized 30kg of RDX, 10 AK-47 assault rifles and 3,200 bullets.
The car was believed to have been driven by Abu Jundal who escaped to Pakistan, but he managed to give police a slip.
After Jundal was nabbed in 2013, he revealed to the ATS another hideout from where a huge amount of RDX, besides 1200 cartridges, 50 hand grenades, 22 magazine rounds were seized.
