Bhubaneswar: Abu Bakar, one of India’s most wanted terrorists involved in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case, was nabbed in United Arab Emirates (UAE) and process has been initiated for his extradition to India.
On 12 March 1993, a series of 12 blasts at various places in Mumbai had resulted in 257 fatalities and over 700 injuries. Bakar, said to be one of the main conspirators behind the bombings, had been living in the United Arab Emirates and Pakistan.
Bakar was involved in arms and explosives training in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, the landing of RDX used in the serial blasts, and conspiracy and planning at Dawood Ibrahim’s Dubai residence.
