A special National Investigation Agency (NIA) court in Hyderabad on Monday acquitted all five accused in the 2007 Mecca Masjid explosion.

The Mecca Masjid explosion took place on May 18, 2007 inside a mosque located in old Hyderabad, the capital of Telangana state.

Nine people lost their lives in the blast and 58 were injured.

The case was transferred to the Central Bureau of Investigation after an initial probe by the local police.

The NIA took over the case from the CBI in 2011.
