The Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) of Maharastra has decided to invoke the stringent Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) against all the 10 accused in the Malegaon blast, including Sadhvi Pragya Chandrapal Singh Thakur and Lt Col Srikant Prasad Purohit.

Under MCOCA, the ATS will get six months to file a charge sheet against the accused; it's 90 days under other laws.

ATS chief Hemant Karkare said that the investigations into Malegaon blast are on the verge of completion.

He rejected the charge of any political pressure in the investigation process. "There is no political pressure in the investigations into the Malegaon blast," he said.

On the other hand ATS has claimed that it has found a video which shows Sadhvi Pragya, Dayanand Pandey and Sameer Kulkarni, Abhinav Bharat, together on stage. Malegaon blast had claimed 6 lives.
