New Delhi, Apr 28 (IBNS) The Supreme Court on Monday stayed the execution of the main accused - Mohammad Arif alias Ashfaq - in the 2000 Red Fort attack case.

Arif was sentenced to death for carrying out the attack. He had challenged the lower court verdict in the apex court citing mental harassment and cruelty during his trial.

The Red Fort in Delhi came under terrorist attack on Dec 22, 2000.

It was carried out by Pakistani terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).

It killed two soldiers and one civilian, in what was described in the media as an attempt to derail the India-Pakistan peace talks.
