October 13, 2015 09:42

A Special NIA court has rejected the bail petitions of Prasad Purohit and three other accused in the 2008 Malegaon bomb blast case. Besides Purohit, who is in jail since his arrest in late 2008, the other accused whose bail pleas were rejected were Dyanand Pandey alias Swami Amritanand Dev, Rakesh Dhawade and Major Ramesh Upadhayay (retd).

The accused, in their bail applications, had told the court that they were innocent and incarcerated for the past seven years without the trial taking off. However, National Investigation Agency opposed their bail, saying there were evidences against them in the terror attack.
