The arrests of Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur and Lt. Col Shrikant Purohit had made headlines several years back. Both these people were arrested in connection with the Malegaon blasts of 2008.
While Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur had maintained that she was framed, Lt Col Purohit has made it clear that he was trying to infiltrate into a militant organization but the police went on to charge him with terrorism.
