Probe intensifies in Malegaon blast case

MUMBAI: The ATS investigations could take a new turn with the probe authorities looking at the possibility of the involvement of those arrested in the Malegaon blast case in other terror attacks like the 2004 blasts in the Marathwada region.

The role of Lt Col Prasad S Purohit, arrested in the Malegaon case for his role in the conspiracy, is already being probed in the 2006 Nanded blast in which four suspected Bajrang Dal activists were killed while as-sembling a bomb.
