Azmi then had represented the accused in the7/11 Mumbai local train blasts, the 2006Aurangabadarms haul, the2006 Malegaon blastscase.Though theHigh Courthad rejected his application challenging the use of theMaharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act(MCOCA) in these alleged terrorism cases and asked for stay, in February 2008, theSupreme Court of Indiastayed the three trials.In July 2008, Azmi filed a petition in the High Court alleging that the accused in the7/11Mumbai blasts, then lodged in theArthur Road Jail, were being tortured. Responding to the petition, the court ordered an inquiry in the case, and the allegations were found to be true.In his brief career of seven years, he secured 17 acquittals in court.
It was while he was defendingFaheem Ansariin the26/11 attackscase that he was killed. Ansari was acquitted of all the charges by theSupreme Court of Indiadue to lack of evidence on 19 August 2012.
He was killed on 11 February 2010 in his office at Taxi Men colony inKurla, when four gunmen entered his office and shot two bullets, point blank and fled. Though he was taken to Rajawadi Hospital inGhatkopar, he was soon declared dead.
In February 2010, member of the Bharat Nepali gang, Devendra Babu Jagtap alias JD, Pintoo Deoram Dagale, Vinod Yashwant Vichare and Hasmukh Solanki, were arrested by the police underMCOCA.The police however did not conduct any forensic of the murder weapons and claimed that the murder was "solved" by the arrest of the accused.
Couple of months later, in June 2010, Inder Singh, who was Azmi's peon at the time and the lone eyewitness of the assassination, lodged a complaint alleging receiving a threatening call, which was later traced to Gujarat.On 20 January 2011, MCOCA court dropped the MCOCA charges levelled against the accused in the policechargesheetas it found no evidence suggesting "pecuniarygains were made in the crime, a mandatory aspect for MCOCA charges."
Then in April 2011, while the accused were in asessions courtatKala Ghoda, for a hearing the police caught a man named Munna reportedly of Navlekar gang, with a weapon and live cartridges in the court premises, who had come allegedly to free the accused.
On 23 July 2012, theBombay High Courtgranted bail to one of the accused, Vinod Vichare, against a personal bond of Rs 50,000 stating he was not "shown to be present" during the assassination. Vichare had already spent two years in jail, ever since he was held for the possession of one of the four revolvers given to Bharat Nepali.
In a 2007 interview with Rediff News Correspondent Sheela Bhatt, Azmi accused the police of staging an encounter at Antop Hill where a Pakistani was killed, because, that area was isolated and "terrorists always hide in places where you find a lot of other people".He further accused theIntelligence Bureauof perpetrating the2006 Mumbai train bombings, which are otherwise believed to be the work ofLashkar-e-TaibaandStudents Islamic Movement of India. When asked as to why Intelligence Bureau would indulge in such acts against national interests, he said it was to stereotypeMuslimsand lobby for stringent laws.
A biographical film based on his life titled,Shahid(2013) starringRajkummar Rao, was directed byHansal Mehtaand produced byAnurag Kashyap. The film had its world premiere at the2012 Toronto International Film Festival's 'City to City' programme in September 2013 and was released on 18 October 2013 in India.The film has a scene in which Mr Azmi's face is blackened by assailants outside the court room. This, admittedly was, just a re-enactment of an incident in the director's own life as against that of Azmi.Furthermore, several petitions filed by Azmi were combined into a single case for dramatic effect in the film.
