Malegaon Blast Accused Lt Col Purohit Gets Bail After 9 Years

Purohit has challenged the April 25 Bombay High Court order which granted bail to another accused, Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, but rejected his plea.His wife said nine years have been a rocky path and had full faith in the apex court.

Purohit had told the apex court that till date charges have not been framed against him while those under the MCOCA (Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act) have already been dropped. He told the court that he has been in jail for the past nine years and was entitled to bail.
