Context

This data was extracted from the following paragraph of the newspaper clippings.

The designated Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) court on July 24 sentenced to death three convicts - Zakir Hussain Shaikh, Feroz Amani Malik, Abdul Akhtar Khan - who had lobbed grenades at the Fishermen s Colony in Mahim on March 12, 1993, killing three persons and injuring six. They were convicted for conspiracy and committing a terrorist act. An accomplice, Moin Qureshi, who was 17 at the time, was spared the death sentence because of his "tender age" and was sentenced to life imprisonment on three counts - conspiracy, committing a terrorist act and murder. While Qureshi was convicted for acquiring weapons training in Sandheri and Bhor Ghats, Shaikh, Malik and Khan were convicted for acquiring weapons training in Pakistan. All four of them had driven to Mahim Causeway from Al-Hussaini building in a van which also had on board Salim Rahim Shaikh, Bashir Khairulla (both sentenced to life) and Mehboob Liyakat Khan (absconding accused). Each one, except Salim Shaikh, was given two grenades each by Javed Chikna (absconding accused). Of them, Bashir could not dislodge the pin of his grenade and hence could not throw one at any of them. "It is immaterial whose act directly led to the death of victims. All of them had the same objective: to kill people. So all have been held vicariously liable. While each was lobbing hand grenades, they were also aware that their companions were lobbing hand grenades," special judge P. D. Kode said.
