After more than four years, trial is likely to restart in the custodial death case of Khwaja Yunus, an accused in 2002 Bombay blast case in a BEST bus in suburban Ghatkopar, with the appointment of Pradip Gharat as the special public prosecutor (SPP) in the case.
The Bombay High Court asked the petitioner, Asiya Begum, to suggest names of lawyers for the appointment of a special public prosecutor (SPP) for the custodial death trial of her son Khwaja Yunus in 2003.
The trial in the custodial death case has been at a standstill since April 16, 2018, after the state government removed Dhiraj Mirajkar as SPP. Mirajkar was appointed SPP in the case on September 7, 2015.
