NIA SAYS MAHARASHTRA ATS PLANTED RDX TO FRAME PUROHIT IN MALEGAON BLASTS

In a shocking development in the politically sensitive 2008 Malegaon blasts case, the NIA (National Investigation Agency) has accused the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) of planting RDX traces to frame prime accused Lt Colonel Prasad Shrikant Purohit, while it let off another prominent accused, Sadhvi Pragya Thakur, and five others saying evidence against the firebrand Hindutva activist was not sufficient to justify prosecution.
