MUMBAI: A special
National Investigation Agency (NIA) court here on Monday issued a bailable warrant against an officer of the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) for not appearing before it in connection with the 2008 Malegaon blast case.
The officer had arrested some accused in the case and recorded some statements. He is also a witness in the case. A lawyer said a bailable warrant of Rs5,000 was issued against the officer, as he had skipped multiple summons.
Six people were killed and over 100 injured on September 29, 2008, after an explosive device went off in Malegaon.
