Yesterday, a special National Investigation Agency (NIA) Court issued a new bailable warrant against Pragya Singh Thakur, the prime accused in the 2008 Malegaon blast case, after she failed to attend the final arguments. Thakur, a Bharatiya Janata Party politician, is facing charges in the blast that resulted in six deaths and left over 101 people injured.

Special Sessions Judge Lahoti issued a ₹10,000 bailable warrant against Pragya Singh Thakur after she failed to comply with last week's order to appear in court by November 13.

As per the report, the case has been adjourned until December 2.

In the previous bailable warrant issued on November 5, the court noted that Pragya Singh Thakur had been absent since June 4, 2024, despite the case being in its final hearing stage. The court rejected her request for exemption, which she justified by citing ongoing ayurvedic treatment for body detoxification.

Thakur has often invoked health concerns to seek exemption from court appearances.
