A special court here on Wednesday issued a fresh bailable warrant against former BJP MP Pragya Thakur, who is the prime accused in the 2008 Malegaon blast case.

This was the second warrant issued within two weeks against Thakur by the special court for National Investigation Agency (NIA) cases. Before it, a bailable warrant was issued on November 5 and she was asked to be present in court on November 13.

However, she failed to appear before the court citing health issues. Thakur’s advocate J. P. Mishra told the court that she could not appear as she was undergoing treatment at a hospital in Bhopal.
