Mahdani is lodged in Karnataka jail and is in judicial custody for his involvement in the 2008 Bangalore serial blasts and similar incidents in Ahmedabad , Surat and Jaipur . Two persons were killed and 20 injured when the blasts rocked the cyber city at nine locations in 2008 . As per former Karnataka state Home Minister late V S Acharya , Mahdani also allegedly admitted role in the 2010 Bangalore stadium bombing on April 17 , 2010 , which he had denied earlier . After a court issued a fresh non-bailable warrant , he proffered to surrender so as to avoid ' unpleasant situations ' when he was to be arrested . On February 11 , 2011 , the Karnataka High Court had rejected Mahdani 's plea . The High Court had said , " There is seldom ever that direct evidence is there in such cases . Conspiracy by very nature is hatched in complete secrecy otherwise the whole purpose will be frustrated . The testimonies of witnesses , G Prabhakar , KB Rafeeq and KK Yoganand were quoted in the judgement dismissing the bail plea . At the final hearing Justice Markandey Katju uttered that he was wondering as to '' how a person on a wheel chair could pose a threat if released on bail . ? '' Finally the Supreme court bench was divided on granting bail to Mahdani and posted the matter to chief justice of India to form a new bench to decide on the plea . In March 2013 madani was granted a 5-day interim bail to attend his daughter 's ( shemeera maudani ) wedding and to vsist his ailing father . On 21 October 2013 , the Supreme court of India directed the Karnataka Government to immediately shift Mahdani to a private hospital for treatment . The court also allowed his wife to be along with him as a bystander during his stay in the hospital . On 24th July 2017 , his bail application for attending his son 's marriage on 9th August was rejected by NIA court . In response to this , his party PDP called for state wide harthal in Kerala on 26th July 2017
