He also discussed about taking revenge for the atrocities committed by the Muslims on Hindus.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The HC had refused to accept Purohit&#8217;s contention that he had attended the meetings as part of a &#8220;covert military intelligence operation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The court pointed out the statements of the witnesses that it was Purohit who said their right-wing group Abhinav Bharat should not be just a political party but should work as an organisation of extremists, having the capacity to eliminate persons opposing the same.<\/p>\n<p>According to the investigating agencies, the blast was allegedly carried out by right-wing group Abhinav Bharat.<\/p>\n<p>The NIA had opposed Purohit&#8217;s bail plea and argued that there was evidence in the form of audio and video recordings, call data records and the statements of the witnesses which prove his involvement in the case.<\/p>\n<p>According to the NIA, Purohit had allegedly taken active part in the conspiracy meetings and even agreed to arrange explosives to be used in the blast.<\/p>\n<p>Purohit had argued that the NIA was &#8220;selective&#8221; in exonerating some accused persons and that the agency made him a &#8220;scapegoat&#8221; in the case.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211; PTI )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Malegaon blast accused Shrikant Purohit today moved the Supreme Court against the Bombay High Court order rejecting his bail plea in the case.
