Shoib Ghansar, a relative of Mukadam, had planted a scooter bomb at Zaveri Bazar killing 17 persons. Ghansar, who worked as salesman in a shopping complex in central Mumbai, was cleared of the charge of participating in the original plan. Delivering the death penalty, Judge P D Kode said: "Though he has not participated in the conspiracy and preparation, he still committed the heinous act of putting the bomb knowing full well. His confession says that after planting the scooter at Zaveri Bazaar he went to a nearby mosque and asked for pardon for his wrong deeds. It means he knew what he was doing, and so the death sentence for committing a terrorist act." He was also awarded life imprisonment under Section 120-b of the IPC and fine of INR 2,75,000.
