Mumbai: One of the prime accused in the 2008 Malegaon bomb blast case, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Pragya Singh Thakur, appeared before a Special NIA Court on Thursday. This was her first appearance before the Special NIA Court in the past eight months, the last being in June last year. Thakur's appearance came a day after Special NIA Court Judge V.S. Padalkar directed all those convicted in the Malegaon 2008 blast case to remain at least once a week before his court pursuant to his May 2019 order. Significantly, the development took place two days after the Bombay High Court frowned at how there was no ' significant progress ' in the case and sought the National Investigation Agency's clarification of the delays in the lower court.
