Mumbai: The prosecution has decided to drop charges against nine of the accused in the Ghatkopar bomb blast case because of insufficient evidence. A bomb exploded on a BEST bus at Ghatkopar on December 2, 2002. Police arrested Dr Mateen and five others. According to police sources, this includes the prime accused Saquib Nachan. "After conducting investigation, we found there was not enough evidence against nine of the accused to prosecute them in the Ghatkopar blast case. But they will be prosecuted in the Mulund, Vile Parle and Mumbai Central, blast cases," said a police officer probing the case. Police had arrested two groups in the Ghatkopar blast. The first group included Dr Mohammed Abdul Mateen and his five associates. The other group, headed by Saquib Nachan, was initially arrested in connection with the blast at Mulund. "During the course of investigations, we found all the blasts were part of the same conspiracy. Which is why we arrested Nachan and his associates in the Ghatkopar blast, but we were not able to get evidence against nine of the accused from the second group in the Ghatkopar blast," said the police officer. Advocate Subhash Kanse, who is representing Dr Mateen and his associates said, "We have got indications that Dr Mateen and his friends will be prosecuted as the three of them have allegedly confessed to police." Mubin Solkar, another defence advocate, said, "We do not know about the prosecution's stand. But we have filed discharge applications for Saquib Nachan and others."
