A detailed examination of the recent verdict in the 2008 Malegaon blast case, where a special National Investigation Agency (NIA) court in Mumbai acquitted all seven accused, including former BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur and Lieutenant Colonel Prasad Shrikant Purohit, on July 31, 2025. The blast, which occurred on September 29, 2008, in Malegaon, Maharashtra, killed six people and injured over 100 when an explosive device, allegedly strapped to a motorcycle, detonated near a mosque.
Analyzing the investigation’s trajectory, initially handled by the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) before its transfer to the NIA in 2011. The ATS had alleged that the blast was orchestrated by members of Abhinav Bharat, a right-wing organization, to target the Muslim community, invoking provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) and the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA). However, the court found no evidence linking the motorcycle to Thakur or proving that Purohit sourced RDX explosives, as claimed.
