Mumbai, Apr 25 (IBNS) : The Bombay High Court on Tuesday granted bail to Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, but denied it to another accused, Lt. Colonel Shrikant Purohit , in the 2008 Malegaon blasts case, reports said.

Both were accused of  plotting the blasts in Maharashtra's Malegaon in which seven people were killed.

. A division bench of Justice Ranjit More and Justice Shalini Phansalkar Joshi granted the bail to Sadhvi on a surety of Rs. five lakh.

The court put conditions that her  passport should be deposited at NIA court, she should not tamper with evidence of the prosecution, shall be present at to NIA whenever required and lower court should not be influenced by the observations of this order.


On September 29, 2008, two bombs fitted on a motorcycle went off in Malegaon, around 270 km from Mumbai, killing seven people and injuring 101 people. 

Sadhvi Pragya was arrested in October that year and Col Purohit in November.
