Dewas Court Acquits Sadhvi Pragya Singh In Sunil Joshi Murder Case
Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur
Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, along with seven others accused of the murder of RSS pracharak Sunil Joshi, were acquitted by Dewas court today (1 February). The decision comes more than nine years after Joshi’s murder.
Joshi was murdered in Dewas town on 29 December 2007. He was allegedly involved in the murder of a tribal Congress leader. Congress and the Left had accused of a larger ‘saffron terror’ conspiracy behind Joshi’s murder, but the National Investigation Agency ruled out the same when it took over the case in 2011 and filed a charge-sheet three years later.
Sadhvi is currently imprisoned at Central Jail in Bhopal and did not travel to Dewas, citing bad health. Five of the eight accused in the case were present when the court pronounced its verdict.
