August 03, 2011  14:29

Details on Toral Varia's report on the bail granted to Malegaon blast accused Shivnarayan Kalsangra and Shyam Sahu. The two have been in custody since
October 2008, and were granted bail on a surety of Rs one lakh each today.

The court said, "There is not sufficient material to show prima facie involvement of the two accused in the blast case. They have not taken any active part in the blast conspiracy.

"The only link of these two accused to the blast case is that they knew the prime accused Ramchandra Kalsangra, who is yet to be arrested," Justice A M Thipsay remarked while granting bail.

Shivnarayan is Ramchandra's brother and Shyam was his business partner. Ramchandra is still absconding in the case.

The court further observed that though the duo were aware about Ramchandra's involvement in unlawful activities and about his strong philosophy for Hindutava, it is not sufficient to accuse them of being part of the conspiracy.
