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 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.
The Maharashtra government has informed the Bombay High Court on Friday that special public prosecutor Dhiraj Mirajkar himself had expressed that he did not wish to continue as SPP in the custodial death of Khwaja Yunus, an alleged bomb blast accused of 2002 in a BEST bus in Ghatkopar.
