Three agencies, three failed probes: How the 2006 Malegaon blasts case hit a ‘dead end’
Indian Express·2h ago·Neutral
What Happened
Twenty years after the 2006 Malegaon blasts killing 31 people, the Bombay High Court discharged the last accused Wednesday. Three agencies—Maharashtra ATS, CBI, and NIA—conducted probes between 2006-2013 that failed. Courts found procedural gaps in investigations. Nine men arrested by ATS were discharged in 2016. The case remains in legal limbo without reaching trial stage, leaving victims' families seeking justice.
