8 accused in the September 2006 Malegaon bomb blasts have been discharged by a Mumbai Court.

Six of them are already out on bail while two have been convicted in the Mumbai 7/11 train blast case

The accused are -
  • Noorulhudha Samsud Doha

  • Raees Ahmed Rajjab Ali
  • Salman Farsi
  • Farogh Iqbal Magdumi
  • Sheikh Mohammad Ali Alam Sheikh

Note

The multiple bomb explosions in Malegaon, a communally-sensitive powerloom town in Nashik district, about 200 km from Mumbai, had occurred near a mosque on September 8, 2006, killing 37 people and injuring over 100.

After the explosions, Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) had arrested nine suspects. However, the MCOCA court had granted bail to the nine accused after new details emerged about the bombings.

The probe into the blasts was handed over to CBI, which endorsed the ATS' findings.

The case went to NIA, which came into existence in 2009 following 26/11 Mumbai attacks.
