All accused in Malegaon blast case acquitted
All seven accused in the 2008 Malegaon blast case—including BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur and Lt Col Prasad Purohit—have been acquitted by an NIA court.
The judge said there just wasn't enough solid evidence or proper procedure from investigators to convict anyone.
Both Thakur and Purohit have always maintained they were innocent.
