 "Who is Lt Col Shrikant Purohit, the man accused in Malegaon blast case")
The Supreme Court on Monday granted bail to Lt Col Shrikant Prasad Purohit in the 2008 Malegaon serial blast case. The apex court said it has imposed certain conditions on Purohit while granting bail.
Purohit had moved the apex court challenging the Bombay High Court's order dismissing his bail plea. Seven people were killed in a bomb blast on September 29, 2008, at Malegaon, a communally-sensitive textile town in Nasik district of north Maharashtra.
A special MCOCA court had earlier ruled that the ATS had wrongly applied this law against Sadhvi Pragya Thakur, Purohit and nine others.
