Observing that there was prima facie material against the accused for his complicity in the crime, the Bombay high court has rejected the bail plea of Praveen Takalki, accused in the 2008 Malegaon bomb blast case.

Refusing to grant bail to the accused on December 18, a bench headed by Justice P V Hardas said the evidence on record shows that he was a member of an organised crime syndicate which was involved in unlawful activity of exploding bombs in religious places, predominately in Muslim areas.

The judges noted that confession given by the accused and corroboration by witnesses revealed that the applicant had knowledge of the acts of other accused and that he conspired with them to cause the offences with which he is charged.
