Bengaluru IS Terror Case: Second Accused Sentenced to 7 Years After Guilty Plea

The Bengaluru Sessions Court delivered a seven‑year prison sentence to the second accused in an IS‑linked terror case after he pleaded guilty. The plea was accepted by the judge, who cited the defendant’s admission of involvement in the plot as a mitigating factor. The case, part of a broader investigation into extremist networks, had already seen the conviction of the first accused. The sentencing marks a significant step in the judicial process against the terror cell. The court also directed that the accused be transferred to a central jail for the duration of the sentence.
