Malegaon blasts: Sadhvi Pragya granted bail by Bombay High Court


Mumbai, Apr 25 (Zee News): The Bombay High Court on Tuesday granted bail to Sadhvi Pragya, who is a prime accused in the 2008 Malegaon blasts case.

Bombay High Court, however, denied bail to Lt Col Prasad Purohit - a co-accused in the case.

The court directed Pragya Singh Thakur to furnish a bond of Rs 5 lakh and two sureties of same amount.

She has been ordered to submit her passport to the NIA and appear on dates in trial court.

Sadhvi Pragya and Col. Purohit had earlier filed pleas in the Bombay High Court seeking bail.

Earlier in March, the High Court had reserved its order on the bail plea filed by Purohit.

The duo had moved the High Court after the special court that hears terror cases probed by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) rejected their bail pleas.

Earlier, while filing for bail, Purohit had claimed that Abhinav Bharat Trust, that the National Investigation Agency (NIA) claimed was used to procure the weapons and explosives used for the blast, was formed keeping senior army officers in the loop and was to be registered as a political party.

The chargesheet filed by the NIA this year had said that Purohit flouted the service rules by forming the outfit in 2006, despite being an army man. The investigating agency said Purohit and the other accused collected funds for the outfit, which were then used to buy weapons.

In his bail plea, Purohit had reportedly said that he was acting in discharge of his duty to gather more intelligence.

"The circumstances show Abhinav Bharat was to become a political party and even a registration form for the same was found through the sources of the accused," read the bail plea.

The state ATS had chargesheeted 12 alleged 'Hindu extremists', including Lt. Col. Purohit and Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, in the case.

The serial bomb blasts outside a cemetery near Hamidia mosque at Malegaon near Nashik on September 8, 2006, claimed 37 lives and injured over 100 people.

    As per your logic she is allowed to do Desh dhrohi activities just for being a Hindu. Then all Desh premi minorities can do Ghar Waapsi and can freely do Desh dhrohi activities as if it's thier birth right. This will in turn welcome China and Pakistan into India and rule us instead you sending them there. You are not only blind Bhakt but brainless too.

    If you have little brain you will not support terrorism. By supporting Sadhvi, you are causing damage to peace and ahimsa preaching Sanatana Dharma. Just see what damage ISIS has caused to Islam. No religion advocates murder of innocent humans. Terrorism has no religion.
