Pune German Bakery blast convict's death sentence quashed
Quashing his death sentence, the court confirmed the life sentence imposed on the convict for possession of explosives under the Indian Explosives Substances Act.
Himayat Baig, who was arrested on Sept 7, 2010 in connection with the case, is the prime suspect of the blast at the bakery in Koregaon Park on Feb 13, 2010.
Baig was awarded death sentence by a Pune court in connection to the 2010 German Bakery bomb blast case in 2013.
Baig was arrested after the Mumbai Anti-Terror Squad (ATS) recovered explosives and literature on bomb-making from his home in Udgir in Latur district.
The German bakery was a favourite hangout joint for foreigners, located close to Osho Ashram.
