Supreme Court grants bail to Malegaon blast accused Lt Col Prasad Purohit
New Delhi, Aug 21 (IBNS): The Supreme Court on Monday granted a conditional bail to Lt Col Prasad Purohit who was accused of 2008 Malegaon blast, media reports said.
Lt Col Purohit was in jail since 2008 and earlier was denied bail by the Bombay High Court.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has opposed his bail in the last hearing saying there was evidence against Lt Col Purohit.
On September 2008, two bombs were blasted in Malegaon, Maharashtra. Seven people died in the blast.
