Mumbai: In an 1,800-page chargesheet filed before the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) Court on Tuesday, the Mumbai police has charged 21 alleged terrorists of the Indian Mujahideen (IM) group of being involved in the planning and execution of bomb blasts across the country, of forming an organised crime syndicate for terror-related activities, and of hacking into WiFi accounts to send emails claiming responsibility for the Ahmedabad and Delhi blasts and for Surat's unexploded bombs.
