A young sadhvi suspected to have links with a Hindu right wing group and two other men were slapped with murder charges on Friday after they were arrested for their alleged involvement in the Malegaon blasts in which the police said the deadly RDX was used.

Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur along with Shamlal Sahu and Shivnarayan Singh, all hailing from Madhya Pradesh, were produced before a court in Nashik in Maharashtra which remanded them to police custody till November 3.

Public Prosecutor Ajay Mishra said the crime committed by the three accused was a ‘serious offence’ and they were booked under charges of murder, attempt to murder and voluntarily causing grievous hurt under IPC Sections 302, 307 and 326 respectively.

The sadhvi, who is based in Indore but who regularly visited Surat to give lectures, was picked up from the diamond town in Gujarat by the Anti Terrorist Squad of the Mumbai police. Shamlal Sahu and Shivnarayan Singh were brought from Indore in MP for questioning in Mumbai. The arrests were made in the last one week.

Mishra said the motorcyle used in the Malegaon blasts on September 29 in which five persons were killed belonged to the Sadhvi. Besides having links with the BJP's student wing ABVP, she is suspected to be associated with the Indore-based radical Hindu Jagran Manch (HJM) accused of involvement in the blasts in Malegaon as well as in Modasa in Gujarat in which one person was killed. The right-wing outfit has denied the charge.

FINALLY THE REAL TERRORIST TRAPED... DONT BLAME ANY RELIGION... FATHER OF TERRORISM - HINDUTVABy: Indian Citizen | 10-Nov-2008 Reply | Forward Although the so-called mainstream Indian media carefully ignores this, enough evidence exists to suggest that at least some of the killer bomb blasts that have rocked various parts of India in recent years might not at all have been the handiwork of Islamist outfits or of Muslims seeking revenge for anti-Muslim violence, although they are inevitably blamed by intelligence agencies and the media for all such attacks. Because, despite their secular pretensions, influential sections of India's Hindu-owned, so-called mainstream media are deeply anti-Muslim, they maintain a stony silence on the possibility of Hindutva terrorist outfits being behind several such blasts, as has been alleged by many Muslim as well as secular human rights' organisations. This is not to say that I do not agree that some fringe Muslim groups might be involved in some of these blasts. This might well be the case. In addition, the possibility of some hapless Muslim victims of Hindu terrorism, as in Gujarat.

A warning signBy: Paritosh Banot | 06-Nov-2008 Reply | Forward This is a wake up call for all politicians to start taking Hindus seriously. Over the last decade or so, minority appeasement has become the bread and butter of indian politicians. That is why Mumbai blast culprits have not been found, a heroic police officer is doubted for shooting terrorists post-mortem and a convicted terrorists sits in a jail because the government is too weak to hang him!However, because of a Hindu's ability to tolerate crap, Hindu bashing amongst the politicians has become fashionable. That is why, Karunanidhi can get away calling Ram a drunkard and artist's M.F. Hussein can get away drawing nude pictures of Durga. Mohandas K. Gandhi has completely sapped Hindus of any pride in their religion. Practicing hinduism is qucikly becoming a crime in India - the birthplace of Hinduism and it is this frustration that some Hindus are getting tired of. Secularism's strength comes from treating all religions equally.

TERRORISTS ARE RULES THE STATES - DIVIDE AND RULE IS THE MOTO OF HINDUTVABy: INDIAN CITIZEN | 10-Nov-2008 Reply | Forward Although the so-called mainstream Indian media carefully ignores this, enough evidence exists to suggest that at least some of the killer bomb blasts that have rocked various parts of India in recent years might not at all have been the handiwork of Islamist outfits or of Muslims seeking revenge for anti-Muslim violence, although they are inevitably blamed by intelligence agencies and the media for all such attacks.

All blasts are done by Hindu TerroristsBy: Common Man | 27-Oct-2008 Reply | Forward All blasts accross India are done by Hindu terrorists. All hindu's are terrorists (except for Congress, SP and Laloo partyman)

Unfair allegations on Indian societyBy: Swami Amrit Digant | 27-Oct-2008 Reply | Forward Pity on people who are trying their best to belittle a highly adoptive society thus named Hindu.Someone should put the record straight for god's sake.

Malegoan blastBy: RS | 25-Oct-2008 Reply | Forward Good to see that the indians have woken up to see the nefarious and dangerous designs of RSS. If the govt do not take action now, India will go on the path of Afghanistan and Pakistan where these RSS Hindu Taliban will kill innocent people and the govt will not be able to do anything to control them. These RSS criminals have been carrying out their designs to usurp power and control India for last 45-50 years and the consecutive govts hv been turning a blind eye towards their activities. That is the reason they hv been carrying out bomb blast every where and killing people in the name of religion and playing politics of vote bank. I am sure the majority of the Hindu people of India are not supporting these criminals and that is why they are not able to get majority in any election. We should all come to gether and work towards exposing these RSS criminals and save our country from breaking into different pieces based on religion, caste and creed. Jai Hind.

RDX can be bought, I guessBy: dablupaplu | 25-Oct-2008 Reply | Forward Sanjya, Pls. be aware that the criminals in the Bombay blasts (of 93) used their personal vehicles although they used RDX. That is how they were found and the court awarded death penalty to quite a few of them.I guess if you have money you can get any illegal stuff in India.
