Special Court Frames Charges in 2006 Malegaon Blast Case
In 2006, bombs exploded in Malegaon, India, killing 31 people and injuring many more.
Recently, a special court has formally accused four men in connection to the blast.
These men have pleaded not guilty to the charges, which include murder and conspiracy.
The investigation has seen twists, with multiple agencies involved.
Initially, the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) arrested some Muslim men, but a later investigation by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) found that these men were not involved.
The NIA has now implicated four other individuals, and the trial will proceed.
