A special court in the Indian city of Mumbai is set to deliver a verdict on the explosions that killed 55 people in the city in 2003.

Three people were charged with causing the twin blasts near the Gateway of India and Zaveri Bazaar, which also injured 180 others.

The accused were charged under India’s Prevention Of Terrorism Act.

It will be the biggest verdict in a terror case since 2006 when 100 people were convicted of Mumbai’s 1993 blasts.

The three accused are Haneef Sayyed, his wife Fahmeeda and Ashrat Ansari.

Two other accused, Mohammed Ansari and Mohammed Hasan, were discharged after a review by the special court last year.

The prosecution said the blasts were planned in Dubai by Pakistani nationals at the behest of the Islamic militant group, Lashkar-e-Taiba.

The blasts caused devastation in Mumbai at the Gateway of India, one of the country’s most famous landmarks. There was also carnage left at the Zaveri Bazaar gold market
