April 25, 2017 11:17
2008 Malegaon blast case: Bombay HC grants bail to Sadhvi Pragya on a bail of Rs 5 lakh. The court rejected the bail of another prime accused Lt Col Prasad Purohit's application.
Both are the prime accused in the 2008 Malegaon bomb blast case. In February, the court had reserved its order on the bail petition filed by Purohit. The duo had moved the High Court after a special court, which hears terror cases probed by the National Investigation Agency, quashed their bail pleas.
Purohit was held in November 2008 on charges of allegedly procuring RDX to carry out the blast and hatching the conspiracy. Concluding its arguments, the NIA had said prima facie there was sufficient amount of evidence to suggest the former military intelligence officer played a key role in executing the blasts.
Six persons were killed and scores injured in a blast at Malegaon, a Muslim-majority town in northern Maharashtra, in September 2008.
