Nine Malegaon blast accused secure bail by Mateen Hafeez & Rebecca Samervel

Nine persons accused in the 2006 Malegaon serial blasts that left 31 dead got bail on Saturday.

The Maharashtra ATS had arrested them claiming that they belonged to outlawed SIMI and aided a Pakistani in carrying out the attacks. The NIA, which has taken over the probe after Swami Aseemanand's confession that a saffron group was behind the blasts, did not oppose bail.

Two of the nine, Shaikh Mohd Ali Alam Shaikh and Asif Khan, will remain in custody as they are also accused in the 11/7 Mumbai train blasts.

Special judge Yatin Shinde of the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act ( MCOCA) court granted bail to nine Malegaon blasts accused on a personal bond of Rs 50,000 each on and asked the nine to furnish one or more surety.

Defence lawyers requested that they be allowed to furnish cash surety in a bid to hasten their release in time for Eid on Monday. The judge declined this request.

The ATS had charged the nine with helping a Pakistani, Muzammil, in carrying out the blasts. They had said Muzammil had travelled to Malegaon with RDX to assemble the bombs, three of which were planted on the premises of the Hameediya mosque and a fourth at Mushawerat chowk. The bombs went off late in the evening on September 8, 2006 killing 31 and injuring 297.

NIA didn't oppose bail

"In all fairness, in the interest of justice after due deliberation a decision was taken on the basis of the facts and circumstances not to oppose the bail application off all nine persons," special public prosecutor Rohini Salian told the court on behalf of the NIA.

The NIA did not file a report in the court, saying investigations were not over yet. However, it submitted that after the revelations by right-winger Swami Aseemanand, who was arrested in the Mecca Masjid blast case, it had reviewed the evidence collected by previous agencies and also collected fresh evidence.
