A bombing occurred on 18 May 2007 inside the Makkah Masjid, a mosque located in the old city area of Hyderabad, capital of the Indian state of Telangana located very close to Charminar. The blast was caused by a cellphone-triggered pipe bomb placed near the site designated for ablution. Two further live IEDs were found and defused by the police.
Sixteen people were reported dead in the immediate aftermath, of whom five were killed by the police firing after the incident while trying to quell the rioting Muslim mob. On 16 April 2018, the NIA Court acquitted all 11 who were accused in the blasts, citing lack of evidence.
