The Supreme Court Wednesday upheld the death sentence awarded to Lashkar-e-Taiba militant Mohammad Arif alias Ashfaq for the Dec 22, 2000 attack at the Red Fort in which three army men were killed.

Dismissing Arif's appeal, a bench of Justice V.S. Sirpurkar and Justice T.S. Thakur upheld the death sentence awarded by a trial court in 2005 and confirmed by the Delhi High Court in 2007.
