Madhya Pradesh To Reopen Murder Case In Which Pragya Thakur Was Cleared

The Madhya Pradesh government is planning to reopen an old murder case against BJP candidate Pragya Singh Thakur, a day after exit polls predicted a victory for her from Bhopal Lok Sabha constituency.

The Congress-led government in the state will seek a legal opinion on reopening the murder case of ex-RSS pracharak Sunil Joshi, in which Pragya Singh was acquitted, state Law Minister PC Sharma said on Tuesday.

Sunil Joshi was shot dead in Dewas district on December 29, 2007. Pragya Thakur and seven other accused were acquitted by a court there in 2017 due to lack of evidence against them.
