SC halts early release of Bowbazar blast convict

The Supreme Court has halted the Delhi High Court's decision to grant premature release to Md Rashid Khan, a life convict in the 1993 Bowbazar blast. The West Bengal government challenged the ruling, highlighting the bombing's severe casualties and destruction. Justices noted Khan's alleged mastermind role, calling the act 'almost terrorist activity,' and issued a notice for his response.
