The father of one of the victims of the 2008 Malegaon blast case, has moved the special court that is hearing the case against Sadhvi Pragya Thakur and asked that her candidature in the Lok Sabha polls for the Bhopal seat be cancelled. The 49-year-old right-wing activist, who has spent nine years in jail, has been pitted by the BJP against Congress's Digvijaya Singh. Special judge VS Padalkar has sought replies from both Pragya Thakur and the National Investigation Agency, and posted the matter for Monday.
