Upon an application of the main accused BJP MP Pragya Thakur in the 2008 Malegaon blast case, a special court has directed the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to assess witnesses on their relevance before summoning them.
The father of a victim in the 2008 Malegaon blast trial has opposed the plea by accused Lt Col Prasad Purohit that sought an in-camera trial and sought its rejection by imposing heavy costs. The plea said that the accused is wasting the court's time by filing repeated applications.
The moment two ATS officers entered the court where the 2008 Malegaon blast trial was underway, advocates representing accused Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur objected to their presence.
