Paving the way for a formal discharge of nine Muslims in the Malegaon blasts of September 2006, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) is giving a final shape to its chargesheet against at least seven Hindu extremists, which include conspirators and executors of the blast.
Sadhvi
in court: Malegaon blast case accused Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur being
taken to be produced at the sessions court in Mumbai.
Four blasts outside a mosque in Maharashtra's textile town of Malegaon on September 8, 2006, had killed 38 persons. Maharashtra ATS probed the case and had filed a chargesheet against nine Muslims - Salman Farsi, Shabir Ahmed, Noorulhuda, Rais Ahmed, Mohammed Ali, Asif Khan, Javed Sheikh, Faroogue Ansari and Abrar Ahmed. Later, the case was handed over to the CBI but the agency also concurred with the ATS probe and filed the chargesheet against same nine accused.
But Swami Aseemanand's confession to a magistrate in 2010 was the first indication that the Malegaon blasts were the handiwork of Hindu extremists. The case was handed over to the NIA for further probe. In the meantime, the NIA allowed the release of nine accused on bail.(Muslims the real terrorists were released but Hindus are framed by Congress. )
The NIA investigation has established that four Hindu extremists - Rajendra Pehelwan alias Samandar, Dhan Singh, Manohar and Amit Chauhan had planted bombs in Malegaon. Investigators have managed to establish the role of at least three planners - Sunil Joshi, Sandeep Dange and Ramji Kalasangra. One of the lead conspirators Sunil Joshi was killed by his own men in December 2007.
Along with the chargesheet against these Hindu extremists, the agency will move for a formal discharge of the earlier held Muslim accused.(Can Congress with the help of NIA alone over rule two Investigations done by two separate agencies)
Health Condition:
Superintendent, Central Jail, MR Patel said Thakur was suffering from neurological problem and is undergoing treatment at a spine centre, which is located on the Maida Mill road here. Her health has been deteriorating for the last few months. Last year also she was admitted to a hospital. She has been treated in the spine centre earlier as well. Besides, she has been diagnosed with cancer which NIA refused to accept.
