Mumbai: Around nine years after he was arrested in the 2008 Malegaon blast case, Lt. Col. Prasad Shrikant Purohit on Wednesday walked out on bail from Taloja jail in neighbouring Navi Mumbai and reported back to his Army unit.
As he came out of the prison at around 10.45 am, two days after the Supreme Court granted him relief, a team of Military Police and Quick Response Team of the Army escorted Purohit to a military station at Colaba in south Mumbai in a car.
Lt. Col. Purohit, who was suspended after his arrest, reported to the liasoning unit of the Army’s Southern Command in Mumbai and is currently staying at an Army establishment in the city and will be under various restrictions including his movement inside the unit, the sources at the Delhi-based Army headquarters said.
