In a landmark judgment, the Mumbai Special NIA Court on Thursday (July 31) acquitted all seven accused in the 2008 Malegaon blast case, including Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur and Lt Col Prasad Purohit, citing a lack of reliable evidence and serious gaps in the investigation. The ruling brings an end to a case that had been under trial for over 15 years.
