2008 Malegaon Blasts Accused Col Purohit Gets Bail After Nine Years

New Delhi: Retired army officer Shrikant Prasad Purohit, or Colonel Purohit, the main accused in the 2008 Malegaon blasts case, was on Monday granted bail by the Supreme Court after nearly nine years in jail.

A bench of justices RK Agrawal and AM Sapre said they are setting aside the Bombay High Court order by which the bail was denied. The apex court also said it has imposed certain conditions on Purohit while granting bail.



The National Investigation Agency (NIA), which is probing the case, opposed Purohit’s bail plea in the top court.

At least seven persons were killed in the explosion in Nashik district’s Malegaon on September 29, 2008.

The investigating agencies had earlier allegedly attributed the blast to right-wing group Abhinav Bharat, IANS reported.

The Supreme Court had on August 17 reserved the order on Purohit’s plea. Senior counsel Harish Salve, appearing for Purohit, had told the court that charges had not been framed against his client till date.

For 9 years Congress couldn't even file chargsheet against him. Finally Justice has been done.

He'd soon be joining Army back.

3+ years and Modi did not help this man.
More, it instructed NIA to oppose bail.

Dios mio!

Congress hid Pak link to Samjhauta blasts?

The Congress is slipping deeper and deeper into quicksand as it seeks to extricate itself from it. On Monday last, a leading TV channel scooped a video of the narco-analysis interrogation of Safdar Nagori, former Simi chief and terrorist, admitting on tape that the Samjhauta Express blasts of February 18, 2007 were carried out by those trained in Pakistan. The tape had apparently been deliberately kept under wraps for nine years because the erstwhile UPA government did not want it to come out. The Manmohan-Sonia dispensation wanted people to believe the motivatedly-floated theory that Islamic terror had a parallel in ‘Hindu terror.’ There was therefore a concerted effort to show that the Samjhauta blasts were the handiwork of Hindu extremists, so as to malign the BJP indirectly.
