Mumbai:
A special National Investigation Agency (NIA) court here Tuesday
granted bail to Lokesh Sharma in the 2008 Malegaon bomb blast in
Maharashtra that killed six people, a lawyer said.
"The NIA failed to file a charge sheet within the stipulated
90-day period. Hence, Special Judge Y.D. Shinde directed the
accused to execute a bond of Rs.25,000, while granting him bail,"
Sharma's lawyer Aarti Bhide told IANS.
Sharma was first named by the NIA in the 2007 Samjhauta Express
train bombing that killed 68 people, mainly Pakistanis. The probe
agency said that he planted the bomb.
Six people were killed and 101 injured in the Sep 29, 2008
Malegaon bomb blast. Twelve members of the rightwing outfits, Jai
Vande Mataram and Abhinav Bharat, were arrested.
Sharma is the first accused to get bail in the case.
