Blood never sleeps

Recently Sadhvi Pragya has been granted bail. NIA took over from ATS and exonerated Sadhvi Pragya in their chargesheet.

While the counsel for blast victims has argued that there was voluminous incriminating evidence gathered by ATS that supported accusations as prima facie true.

Six persons were killed and nearly 100 others injured when a bomb strapped to a motorcycle exploded in Malegaon town of Nashik district, on September 29, 2008.

 The question that begs to be asked - Are evidence collected by ATS not enough? If that is so, NIA should file an affidavit that evidences submitted by ATS led by late Hemant Karkare are insufficient.

And What has NIA done if evidences are insufficient?

What should the answer be to blast victims? We don't know nor do we care Who committed the crime but it was surely not the current accused. So we will slowly release all the accused.

There is a saying - "Blood never sleeps". How should they feel after losing their loved ones and accused exonerated. Should they appreciate that justice is not delivered even after 8 years? Or make peace with regular incompetence of investigative organizations?

What would you do if you were in their place?

In Sadhvi's case, the NIA which had in its supplementary chargesheet exonerated her of all charges, did not object to her being granted bail and released from jail.

Appearing for the intervenor - family of blast victim Nisar Bilal — counsel B A Desai who questioned the legality of the fresh probe of NIA which had taken over from the Maharashtra Anti Terror Squad (ATS) pointed to what he said was "incriminating evidence against the accused."

Desai said, "There are reasonable grounds to believe that accusations are prima facie true and that Sadhvi was part of several conspiracy meetings prior to the blast. There is voluminous evidence as well as witness statements to prove this."

The HC had heard the audio and video recordings of the conspiracy meetings held prior to the blasts after Desai pointed out discrepancies in the evidence submitted. Desai challenged the NIA recommendation to exonerate Thakur in its supplementary chargesheet. "Prosecutor has not acted as the agent of Justice in this case. The onus is now on the intervenor to place facts as the NIA has refused to do it before the court, " Desai had argued in his concluding submissions.

The bench had called for written submissions from Desai, Sadhvi's counsel and NIA counsel Sandesh Patil.
