\u201cThe verdict is an important milestone in the dispensation of justice,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSome additional suspects are being tried in various Anti-Terrorist Courts,\u201d it added. However, it emphasized that \u201cjustice would truly be served once the mastermind and planners of May 9 riots are punished as per the Constitution and laws of the land\u201d, it further added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
