Cases against Muslim youth to be lifted

Hyderabad, February 03: Announcing a slew of measures for the residents of the Old City on Wednesday, chief minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy said the state government will lift cases against all youth from the Muslim community who were booked after the Mecca Masjid blast in 2007. He also announced a rehabilitation package for them.

Addressing an MIM-organised public meet at Barkas as part of the Rachchabanda programme, the CM said the CBI, which had probed the blast, has found out the blast was the handiwork of right-wing organisations and not the boys who were arrested.
