NASHIK: Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, arrested in connection with the Malegaon blast, is learnt to have had a long telephonic conversation with the absconding main accused in the case telling him why the casualties in the incident had been low, the prosecution told a court here on Monday.

The lawyer of Maharashtra Anti Terrorist Squad told chief judicial magistrate K D Boche, before whom Thakur and two others were produced amidst high drama, that during the long conversation between her and prime accused Ramji after the September 29 Malegaon blasts, Ramji told her "I have done my job."

Pragya had asked Ramji whether police had seized her motorcycle used in Malegaon blasts and why less people had been killed in the blasts, said the prosecution.

Ramji told Pragya that "I did not find proper parking place for the bike", claimed the prosecution.

The court sent Pragya, Shivnarayan Singh Kalsangram and Shyam Bhawarlal Sahu to magisterial custody till November 17 in connection with the blast that left six persons dead.

When the CJM asked Pragya Singh Thakur whether she wanted to speak, the sadhvi replied "I have to tell you a lot of things and needs long time."

She asked the court: "can I get justice?" Pragya fainted briefly but regained consciousness after having water.

The court also remanded three others arrested in connection with the Malegaon blasts in police custody till November 10. They are Ajay Rahirkar, Jagdish Mhatre and Rakesh Dhawade.
