Mumbai: The designated TADA court in Mumbai on Wednesday sentenced Tiger Memon's bodyguard Sardar Shahwali Khan to life imprisonment in the 1993 Mumbai blasts case.
Accused no. 97 Mulchand Sampatraj Shah, who had Shah had deposited over one crore of money belonging to key blast convict Tiger Memon in his hawala account, has been given five years rigorous imprisonment and a fine of Rs 5 lakh.
He had also loaded RDX in vehicles, on March 11and collected money from Mulchand Shah and helped distribute it to the other accused.
Another accused Baba Chauhan who supplied ammunition to actor Sanjay Dutt and Salim Kurla has been handed down 10 years imprisonment and asked to pay Rs 2.5 lakh.
The court is yet to decide on Dutt's sentencing. Dutt had filed an application under the Probation of Offenders Act under which a person can be released on probation instead of serving the sentence in prison.
The prosecution though had argued that Dutt could not be granted leniency for being a youthful offender as Dutt was 34 years old when he accepted an AK-56 rifle and a Chinese 9mm pistol from Samir Hingora.
The court on June 1 sentenced Samir Hingora to nine years' rigorous imprisonment in the blasts case.
