The court said that the prosecution failed to establish the case beyond a reasonable doubt, leading to the acquittal of the accused, including Pragya Singh Thakur , Major (retired) Ramesh Upadhyay, Sudhakar Chaturvedi, Ajay Rahirkar, Sudhankar Dhar Dwivedi (Shankaracharya), and Sameer Kulkarni. Further, the court also ordered Maharashtra government to provide compensation to the victims' families, awarding Rs 2 lakh to the families of the deceased and Rs 50,000 to those injured in the blasts. The court found no evidence of explosives being stored or assembled at the residence of Prasad Purohit, another accused in the case. "No sketch of spot was done by the investigation officer while doing panchnama. No finger print , dump data or anything else was collected for the spot. The samples were contaminated so reports can't be conclusive and relied upon," the court said. The case dates back to September 29, 2008, when an explosive device strapped to a motorcycle detonated near a mosque in Malegaon City's Bhikku Chowk, resulting in the deaths of six people and injuring 95 others.
