Life imprisonment to NDFB chief Ranjan Daimary for 2008 Assam serial blasts

Guwahati : A special CBI court has awarded life imprisonment to chief of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) Ranjan Daimary and nine others, in the 2008 Assam serial bombing case.

The court had convicted 15 people on Monday in connection with the serial blasts triggered by the NDFB on October 30, 2008 in Guwahati, Kokrajhar, Bongaigaon and Barpeta. The blasts killed 88 people and injured more than 500.

Besides Daimary, George Boro, Ajay Basumatary, Khargeswar Basumatary, Rajendra Gayari, and Onsai Boro were also sentenced to rigorous life imprisonment and slapped a fine of Rs. 10,000 each on each of the counts they have been convicted on.

Three other convicts – Prabhat Bodo, Jayanti Basumatary and Mathura Brahma – were sentenced to five-year imprisonment and a fine of Rs. 3000 for each count they have been convicted on.

They could be released after they pay the fine since they have already undergone twice the prison term as an under trial.

CBI Special Judge Aparesh Chakraborty pronounced the quantum of punishment amid tight security in the court premises in Guwahati.

The CBI court has ordered the release of Nilim Daimary and Mridul Goyary as they have already served their sentence.
