On September 8, 2006, a series of bomb explosions in Malegaon, Maharashtra, killed at least 37 people and injured over 100. The blasts targeted a mosque and a crowded area during Friday prayers.
In April 2026, a special court discharged several accused due to lack of evidence, including key figures previously held. This has raised questions about who actually carried out the attack.
Investigations by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) have pointed to multiple suspects, but no conclusive verdict has been reached. The case remains open with ongoing probes.
