Mumbai, Aug 2 (IBNS) : Sayed Zabiuddin Ansari alias Abu Jundal and six others were on Tuesday sentenced to life imprisonment for their role in the 2006 Aurangabad Arms haul case, reports said.

A Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) court sent the other two convicts to 14 years of jail and the remaining three were sentenced to 8 years of jail.

Altogether 12 people, including Jundal, were convicted in the case last week and the amount of their punishment was pending. .

The court had earlier  acquitted eight others in the case while trial of two accused have been separated.

On May 8, 2006, a Maharashtra ATS team chased a Tata Sumo and an Indica car on Chandwad-Manmad highway near Aurangabad and arrested three terror suspects and seized 30kg of RDX, 10 AK-47 assault rifles and 3,200 bullets.

Jundal, who was driving one of the vehicles, however, managed to escape. He fled out of the country and was finally deported to India from Saudi Arabia in 2012.
