The National Investigation Agency opposed the bail application of Lt Col Prasad Purohit, an accused in the 2008 Malegoan blast case. The agency said in its reply that it had sufficient evidence to prove Purohit's involvement in the blasts conspiracy and to justify invocation of stringent Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act against him. Purohit, pleading innocence, has also said in his bail plea that he is behind the bars without trial for the last seven years.
