Most Respected Sirs,

Sub:  Death of 11 people in the bomb blast at RSS Chennai Office on 8th August 1993, Supreme Court  judgement in Criminal Appeal Nos.1374 of 2007,  552 of 2008, and 1271 of 2009, request to file curative Petition-Reg

It is shocking to learn about the acquittal of dreaded terrorists by the Honourable Supreme Court  on 6th of this month in the case relating to the death of 11 people, due to Bomb blast at RSS Chennai head quarters on 8/8/1993. The hard core terrorists can go scot free, due to the incomplete investigation by the CBI and / or due to the technicalities.

The only ground on which the Honourable Supreme Court acquitted the accused is that the CBI failed to prove the source of RDX/PETN, the explosives  used to blast. It is not in dispute that  the accused entered into conspiracy, planted bombs and that the 11 people died, several injured in the blast. The whole of the building collapsed. In spite of all this, the prosecution case was not accepted by the Honourabe Supreme Court.

RSS fully co-operated with the CBI and other investigating agencies; it trusted and hoped that the culprits will be booked and awarded capital punishment for the heinous act. When CBI comes to know that RDX/PETN was used, the question to be answered is why the source of RDX/PETN was not investigated.

Further, the case is not simply based on circumstantial evidence. The planting of bombs is proved as submitted by the counsel for prosecution before the  Honourabe Supreme Court. There is no discussion of the same in the judgment.

People lose confidence on the criminal judicial system when such glaring dastardly acts are left without proper investigation. Several witnesses have deposed about the planting of bombs and commission of the crime, apart from the confessional statements of the accused. Under TADA Act such confessional statements are admissible. There is no discussion about submissions of the learned Senior Counsel for the prosecution with regard to the proof of planting of bombs.
RSS requests for further investigation as to the source of RDX/PETN, and to take steps for filing Review and /or Curative Petition before the Apex Court and render justice.

In the service of Motherland,
