Film producer Samir Hingora and city businessman Baba Chouhan were among the three held guilty by a Terrorist and Disruptive Activities Act court on Wednesday on charges of delivering weapons to actor Sanjay Dutt [Images] at his residence prior to the 1993 bomb blasts in Mumbai.

The court also held Rusi Mulla guilty of keeping with him a 9 mm pistol given to him by Sanjay's friend Kersi Adajenia. Mulla was found guilty under section 3 and 7 of Arms Act on charges similar to that of Sanjay who was convicted on Tuesday.

According to Central Bureau of Investigations, Sanjay had asked Yusuf Nallwalla to destroy AK-56 rifle and a 9 mm pistol lying in a bag in his house. Nallwalla took help of Kersi Adajenia to destroy the weapons.

Both melted AK-56 rifle with a gas cutter and decided to destroy the pistol later. Adajenia gave the pistol to Rusi as he was to go Kolkata on a business trip.

Judge P D Kode held Chouhan guilty of possessing AK-56 rifle and other weapons, which he delivered to Dutt.

He was found guilty under Section 5 of TADA (P) Act for possessing arms, section 6 of the same act, which provides for enhanced punishment for violation of other acts.

He was also found guilty under 3 and 7 of Arms Act. Producer Samir Hingora was found guilty of conspiracy under section 120-b IPC. He is charged with attending meeting in Dubai and delivering weapons to Dutt at the instance of Anees Ibrahim, absconding accused and brother of prime conspirator Dawood Ibrahim [Images].
