Three and half months after the serial blasts in Ahmedabad claimed 55 lives, Gujarat police on Wednesday filed a chargesheet in a court naming 26 people, allegedly linked with SIMI, as accused in the case. The 2,000-page chargesheet was filed in the court of Metropolitan Magistrate G M Patel.

The accused named in the chargesheet include SIMI activists Mufti Abu Basher, Safdar Nagori and Sajid Mansuri.

The chargesheet also lists the names of 50 absconders in the blasts case. The chargesheet says that police has so far examined 511 witnesses.

The chargesheet has been filed pertaining to city civil hospital blast case and L G hospital blast case, police said.

As per the rules, the police have to file chargesheet in any case before 90 days of the first arrest of the case.

The police had arrested ten accused in the case on August 16.

The blasts had taken place in various parts of the city on July 26 evening. Blasts had also rocked city civil hospital and L G hospital when those injured in blasts in other parts of the city were being brought to two hospitals.
