In 2016, the special court for NIA cases awarded death sentence to five operatives of the Indian Mujahideen (IM) in connection with the bomb blasts case.

Coinciding with the eighth anniversary of the incident, the Anti-Terrorism Forum (ATF) on Sunday paid tributes to the victims at the bomb blasts site. The ATF under the leadership of convener Ravinuthala Shashidhar and others demanded that the government enact tough laws, such as the POTA, to crackdown extremist terrorism and prohibit organisations providing assistance to terrorists in Hyderabad.

They demanded the police arrest those residing illegally in the city and send them back to their respective countries. The government should render proper assistance to affected families, they said.
