Bhopal: Hindu rightwing Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, prime accused in the 2008 Malegaon blast in Maharashtra, was Monday presented before a Madhya Pradesh judge in an ambulance in connection with the 2007 Sunil Joshi murder case.
The judge of the court in Dewas, 150 km from here, came to the ambulance parked near the court building to see the condition of Pragya Thakur.
“After the hearing, the court ordered Pragya Thakur’s medical check up and said she should be sent back to Mumbai,” Dewas Superintendent of Police S.P. Singh told IANS.
She was brought from Mumbai in the morning on the Mumbai-Indore Avantika Express. Soon after her arrival in Indore, she was taken to Dewas where she was admitted to hospital. She was later brought to the Dewas court in an ambulance.
After the court proceedings in Dewas, she was taken to Indore where she was admitted to a hospital.

The blast took place in two coaches of the train in the intervening night of Feb 18-19, 2007 near Siwah village in Haryana.
