A court in Bihar, India has handed life sentence to three persons and 10 years’ rigorous imprisonment to five others in the 2018 Bodh Gaya blast case.
Special NIA judge Gurvinder Singh Mehrotra announced the punishment for eight Bangladesh militants who were convicted on December 10.
The eight convicts had confessed to their involvement in a bomb blast that took place in the Buddhist pilgrim town on January 19, 2018, a few hours after the Dalai Lama had left the spot after delivering a sermon.
Another accused, had pleaded not guilty and his trial will take place separately.
