However, their lawyers say the whole thing is a set up.

"They have no evidence against my clients, they are being framed,'' says the lawyer of the accused, Hashim Quereshi.

But, government lawyers say they have concrete evidence.

" We have evidence against the accused on are responsible for the various blasts that took place on July 26," says public prosecutor, N S Saini.

Police from various states are working in coordination and they hopes to solve cases surrounding other blasts as well.
