Why is Sadhvi Pragya still in jail asks Bombay High Court

The Bombay High Court has asked how Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur who was arrested in the 2008 Malegaon blast case could be kept in prison when the prosecuting agency had said there was no case against her. The court asked the NIA to submit a compilation of all the previous orders and judgements pertaining to the case.

Thakur was given a clean chit by the NIA earlier this year, but the trial court refused her bail. Thakur moved the High Court after the special court for Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act cases denied her bail on June 28.

Her petition in the high court said the lower court had failed to take into consideration the change in circumstances. In November 2015, the special court denied her bail, holding that prima facie there was some evidence against her.

6 persons died and 100 were injured in the bomb blast at Malegaon, a predominantly Muslim town in north Maharashtra, on September 29, 2008.
