School denies link to blast accused

Nagpur: The Bhosla Military School has categorically denied imparting terrorist training to the Malegaon bomb blast accused or anyone else in the past, terming media reports to that effect as part of irresponsible and malicious propaganda.

"We heard the names of the Malegaon bomb accused, including Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, for the first time when reports about their arrest appeared in the print and electronic media in the last some days," the school's Nagpur branch director Satish Salpekar said.

The Bhosla Military School in Nashik prepares students for National Defence Academy examinations, he said.
