The Bombay High Court on Tuesday granted bail to 2008 Malegaon blasts accused, retired Major Ramesh Upadhyay, against a personal bond of ₹1 lakh. The retired Major's lawyers had argued that bail should be granted as the other prime accused in the case, Shrikant Purohit, had been granted bail. Seven people had been killed in the Malegaon bomb blast.
