The 2008 Malegaon bombings took place on 8 September 2008 in Malegaon, a town in the Nashik district of the Indian state of Maharashtra, 290 km northeast of Mumbai. The Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) initially blamed the bombings on the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), but in a chargesheet filed in 2013 the NIA and ATS (Anti-Terrorism Squad) joint investigation and involved evidences pointed towards involvement of an extremist group Abhinav Bharat and Pragya Thakur was the main accused in the bombing but she was elected as a member of parliament despite of pending cases against her in the said bombings.[1][2]
