<br />
In October 2007 the ban was extended and the group declared an unlawful association under the [[Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act]] for "indulging in activities which are pre-judicial to the security of the country having the potential to disturb peace and communal harmony and to disrupt the secular fabric of the country".<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/hyderabad/Deendar-Anjuman-declared-unlawful/articleshow/2481965.cms|title=Deendar Anjuman declared unlawful - Times of India}}</ref> <br />
<br />
In 2008, [[Capital punishment]] was awarded to 11 people and life sentence to 12 others by a local court. The prime accused in the case, Zia-ul-Hassan was the son of Syed Siddique Hussain, the founder of Deendar Anjuman. Zia-ul-Hassan had migrated to [[Pakistan]] and used to visit [[Hyderabad]] during his father's death anniversary. The accused believed that "blasts at churches in India would trigger a [[civil war]] between [[Hindus]] and [[Christians]], and a religious leader from [[Afghanistan]] would invade and conquer India, which would be converted into an [[Islamic state|Islamic country]]".<ref name=":0">{{Cite news|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Church-serial-blasts-11-get-death/articleshow/3774113.cms|title=Church serial blasts: 11 get death - Times of India}}</ref> <br />
