The 2004 Jalna Mosque bomb attack comprises two separate crude bomb attacks at local mosques in Jalna, Maharashtra on 27 August 2004.[1][2] According to senior police officer, the first blast occurred at Kadriya Masjid in Jalna at 1:45 pm and the second explosion occurred barely 15 minutes later at another mosque on the outskirts of Poorna town in Parbhani district.[3] The attacks were carried out during Friday prayer and total 18 people were injured.[4] Later on 18 July 2012 all seven accused were acquitted in the case due to lack of evidence by a district and sessions court.[5]
