Malegaon blast case: Bombay High Court rejects Sadhvi Thakur's bail plea | | The Bombay High Court on Friday turned down the bail plea of 2008 Malegaon blast prime accused Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur. Justice S C Dharmadhikari rejected
her lawyer's argument that she had been illegally detained before her formal arrest
on October 23, 2008, thereby denying bail to her. Thakur's lawyer Mahesh Jethmalani
argued that her client had been in the custody of Maharashtra 's Anti-Terrorist
Squad (ATS) since October 10, 2009. On the contrary, the court found out that
she was moving freely without police surveillance from October 10 to 23. The court
also made a note of the fact that the affidavit submitted by Thakur to the Human
Rights Commission, complaining about custodial torture and to the court varied. |
