In a sensational revelation, a former police officer who was part of the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) during the investigation of the 2008 Malegaon blast case has alleged that he was instructed to arrest Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat. This claim has been made by a retired Inspector Mehiboob Mujawar on Thursday in reaction to the special NIA court’s verdict that acquitted all seven accused in the case, including BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur. Speaking at an event in Solapur, Mujawar alleged that the direction to target Bhagwat was part of a broader agenda to establish the narrative of “saffron terror.”
