Malegaon blast: SC seeks reply of NIA, Maharashtra govt on Purohit's bail plea

The apex court had on April 28 rejected Purohit's plea for urgent hearing, saying the petition will come up in regular course.

While rejecting his bail, the High Court had said there are grave charges against Purohit and there is prima facie evidence against him.

Major Upadhyay made these allegations after procuring copies of certain documents under the Right To Information (RTI) Act.

The lawyers said Purohit had been duly informing his then superiors about his activities and yet he was accused.
