Earlier in 2001, co-accused Davender Pal Singh was convicted and sent to gallows by the lower court for his involvement in the terror strike.
A suspected militant of banned Khalistan Liberation Force (KLF) has denied before a Delhi court any role in the 1993 bomb blast near the headquarters of Indian Youth Congress headquarters here.
"I do not know anything about any such bomb blast. It is false and incorrect that I have been part of any such conspiracy," Harneik Singh, an alleged militant of KLF, told additional sessions judge JR Aryan.
Singh, who remained elusive for 10 years before being arrested in 2004, was recording his statement under Section 313 (response of accused to the evidence collected against him) of the CrPC.
The accused, who answered 28 court questions, refused to examine any witness in his defence claiming "no witness can dare to come from Punjab to depose in my defence because of the threat posed to them by the Punjab Police."
The court has recently concluded recording of evidence with the examination of 94th prosecution witness in the 16-year-old case.
Nine persons were killed and 29, including the then Youth Congress president Maninderjeet Singh Bitta, were injured on September 11, 1993 when an explosives-laden car went off outside the party's office at Raisina Road here.
Earlier in 2001, co-accused Davender Pal Singh was convicted and sent to gallows by the lower court for his involvement in the terror strike.
However, another accused Daya Singh Lahoria was acquitted for want of evidence.
The trial against two accused -- Harneik Singh and Baldev Singh -- remained stalled till 2004 and it re-started after their arrest.
While framing charges against Harneik under the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) and the IPC,
the court had discharged Baldev Singh saying there was no prima facie evidence against him.
The police had arrested Harneik in Ludhiana in 2004 and later on his disclosure statement, Baldev was arrested.
The FIR, lodged with the Parliament Street police here, said the terrorists used the timer device to explode deadly RDX kept in an Ambassador car.
