Pune : A former police official who was part of the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) that probed the 2008 Malegaon blast case claimed on Thursday July 31, 2025 that he had been asked to apprehend RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat.The objective behind the order was to establish that there was “saffron terror”, alleged retired inspector Mehiboob Mujawar, reacting to the trial court’s verdict acquitting all seven accused including former BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur.

The court’s ruling undid the “fake things” done by the ATS, he said, speaking at Solapur.

Notably, while the ATS probed the case initially, it was later taken over by the National Investigation Agency.
