Mumbai: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Monday informed the TADA court that many body parts were found after the 1993 serial blasts that could not be identified till date.

The CBI requested the court to pass appropriate order what the agency should do on giving compensation to the unidentified victims of the blasts.

Almost 25 years after the 1993 serial blasts, the special TADA court judge G.A. Sanap during the second leg of the trial had held that all the victims of the blasts were entitled to compensation. “The victims in the Bombay bomb blasts case injured and disabled are entitled to compensation as per provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code under the victim compensation scheme of the Government of Maharashtra,” said the judge in his order that he passed in September 2017.

In light of this order, the judge had directed the CBI special task force (Mumbai) to produce a list of all dead and the injured following which the CBI submitted a list of 232 persons who lost their lives in the blasts and 638 other who were injured. To comply with court's order the CBI is supposed to submit updated list, it however, informed the court that after blasts some body parts were found from the spot and it could not be ascertained whose body parts were they. In such circumstances the CBI requested the court to pass appropriate order so that they could act accordingly.

The judge is expected to pass an order on this on Tuesday.
