What's common between the 2007 attack on a paramilitary camp in Uttar Pradesh’s Rampur town and the 2008 Mumbai attacks, the worst terror strike the country has ever seen?

- HT Correspondent

The answer is 50-year-old Bihar-resident Sabauddin Ahmad - who was acquitted of murder in the 2007 case this week and of providing map details in the 2008 case in 2013 — and 49-year-old Mumbai-resident Fahim Ansari, who served and finished a 10-year sentence in the 2007 case in 2019, and on charges under the Arms Act in the 2008 case till November 2019.

The difference? While Ansari iscurrently out of jail and residing in Mumbai, Ahmad is lodged in Lucknow district jail, serving life term under the Gangsters Act.

The connection came to light ‘on Wednesday, when the Allahabad high court set aside a trial court order that awarded capital punishment to Ahmad and four others in connection with the terrorist attack on a CRPF camp in Rampur on December 31, 2007, in which eight jawans died and five sustained injuries.
