Malegaon blast accused to be tried for terror conspiracy

Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur and Lieutenant Colonel Shrikant Purohit, accused in the 2008 Malegaon blast case, will now be tried for conspiracy to commit terror. A special National Investigation Agency court on Wednesday decided the earlier charges under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act were not applicable. The blast had killed at least six people and injured nearly 100.
