2008 Malegoan blast case: AAP questions NIA credibility

The AAP on Saturday questioned the ‘credibility’ of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) after charges against Sadhvi Pragya Thakur were dropped in the 2008 Malegoan blast case and accused the BJP of weakening the country’s premier counter terrorism body. 

The party also attacked NIA and BJP for questioning the role of slain Maharashtra ATS chief Hemant Karkare, who was heading the probe when Sadhvi Pragya and Col Shrikant Purohit were arrested and asked it to apologise for raising doubts over his investigation.

“The BJP and the NIA should say sorry for raising doubts about Hemant Karkare who laid his life for the nation. He had served in the RAW for a long time and only officers with integrity are chosen in the spy agency,” AAP leader Ashish Khetan said.
