SC grants bail to 2008 Malegaon blast-accused Lt Col Purohit
The Supreme Court on Monday granted bail to Lieutenant Colonel Shrikant Purohit in the 2008 Malegaon blast case. Purohit had moved the Supreme Court challenging Bombay High Court's order dismissing his bail plea. Notably, a Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) court had earlier dropped the charges against Purohit and 10 others accused in this case.
