A total of 103 witnesses were examined as Baig was charged under various sections of the IPC, Unlawful Activities Prevention Act and the Explosive Substances Act.

While the prosecution had claimed that the conspiracy was planned in Colombo in 2008, Baig had denied allegations of knowing the other accused. He had claimed that he was in Aurangabad on the day of the blast.

On February 13, 2010, a deadly blast ripped through Pune's famous eating joint German Bakery. Seventeen people died and 64 others were injured.
