India, July 22 -- The Maharashtra government on Monday said that it will challenge the acquittal of all 12 people convicted for the 2006 Mumbai serial train blasts in the Supreme Court.

Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis said that he would discuss the high court verdict with lawyers and that his government will approach the top court.

"I will go through the entire order. I have discussed with the lawyers, and the high court verdict will be challenged in the Supreme Court," the chief minister said.

A series of coordinated blasts on Mumbai's local trains on July 11, 2006 killed 189 people. The blasts killed more people than the 2008 terror attacks, and injured nearly 900, in what remains one of India's worst-ever such strikes....
