On 11 September, 2015, as many as 12 of the 13 accused were convicted by a special court and sentenced while one of them was acquitted.
Of the 12 convicts, five were awarded capital punishment while the rest of them were given life imprisonment.
The main planner and conspirator was Azam Cheema alias Babaji, the Bahawalpur-based LeT commander who doubles up as an ISI operative – a wanted accused in the case.. He started the planning several years ago and commenced training of some of the key players in the act of terror.
After a detailed probe, the ATS has pieced together the entire modus operandi, but the fact remains that the key conspirators are at large.
