Hindu Terror? Malegaon Acquittals Show How Suspicion Became The Sentence For Hindus

  • A motorcycle blast, seven arrests and seventeen years later, the case that legitimised “saffron terror” falls apart, exposing forensic fraud, coerced witnesses and political interference.
  • On 29 September 2008, a motorcycle laden with explosives detonated near Bhikku Chowk in Malegaon, a communally sensitive town in Maharashtra. The explosion killed six people instantly and left over 100 injured.

    In the immediate aftermath, investigators speculated about Islamist involvement, given Malegaon's history of previous blasts allegedly tied to jihadist groups. But within a month, the narrative took a jarring turn. The Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS), led by Hemant Karkare, arrested seven Hindu individuals, including Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur and Lieutenant Colonel Prasad Purohit.
