Judicial remand of Malegaon accused extended
|
Nashik: The judicial remand of eight of the ten accused, including Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, in the Malegaon blast case has been extended till November 29 as a court here rejected the Gujarat police's plea for interrogation of nine of them.
The ATS, which produced the eight arrested persons in the case before the jam-packed court of Additional Judge H K Ganatra, sought extension of their judicial remand stating that investigations are on.

Special counsel for ATS Ajay Misar argued before the court that since investigation into the blast was still on, the judicial remand of the accused should be extended.
Meanwhile, the Gujarat Police approached the court for interrogation of nine of the ten accused, which was denied. Deputy Superintendent of Police K K Mysorewala represented the Gujarat Police.
Sadhvi Pragya's lawyer filed an application before the court alleging the ATS had ill treated her besides torturing his client. Another accused in the case, Major (retd) Ramesh Upadhyay told the court that he was not allowed to send letters, seeking legal help, to his family members in Pune.
