After a 17-year-long wait, the Special National Investigation Agency (NIA) court in Mumbai announced its verdict today in the 2008 Malegaon blast case.
The Special NIA court acquitted all seven accused, including Sadhvi Pragya, a former Member of Parliament from Bhopal and Lt Col Prasad Purohit.
The accused have been acquitted of all charges of Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), Arms Act and other charges.
Special NIA court in its verdict said that the prosecution failed to prove case and the accused deserve benefit of doubt.
