A total of 49 people were charged in the much-discussed case. 17 of them have already died. There are 32 survivors – most of them are senior BJP leaders.
The accused include senior BJP leader LK Advani, Murali Manohar Joshi, former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Kalyan Singh, BJP’s firebrand leader Uma Bharti and Binoy Katiyar.
