Swami Aseemanand, the hardline Hindutva leader, confessed of his involvement in the terror attack on Hyderabad's Mecca Masjid, Times of India reported on January 8. He also confirmed that the bomb attacks on the mosques in Malegaon in Maharashtra (September 8, 2006) Muslim dominated areas of Modasa town in Gujrat (September 29, 2008) as well as the Samjhauta Express Blast (February 18, 2007) were handiworks of Hindu radicals of whom he had full knowledge. Aseemanand aka Jatin Chatterjee aka Naba Kumar Sarkar named Indresh Kumar, Sunil Joshi (who was allegedly killed by his co-conspirators), Sandeep Dange and Ramchandra Kalsangra, aka Ramji (both of whom are absconding) as fellow architects in these terror plots. He said that the Hindu radicals allegedly attacked mosques and the train carrying Pakistani citizens as part of the 'bomb-for-bomb' plan to retaliate against jihadi terror. According to Aseemanand, the Islamist attack on Varanasi's Sankatmochan temple (March 7, 2006) proved to be the last straw for him and his affiliates. What reportedly led to the confession was the fact that the Swami was cared for in jail by a Muslim, who was wrongly arrested in the Mecca Masjid blast, leading to the act of atonement.

Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) chief Rakesh Maria on March 7 said that the ATS has got "new material and good information" after interrogating Praveen Mutalik and some more arrests are likely in connection with the 2008 Malegaon blast case, reports Times of India. "During the interrogation of Mutalik, we have got good information and new material that has been recorded. He told us about the boys who underwent training of bomb making, using of weapons and marshal arts. The names of boys are with us," Rakesh Maria claimed. Praveen Venkatesh Mutalik alias Praveen Mutalik, a member of radical Hindu outfit Abhinav Bharat, was arrested from Gokak town in Belgaum District of Karnataka on January 31, 2011 by the ATS.

A special Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) court on March 15 rejected the bail application of all the nine persons accused in the Malegaon blast case (September 8, 2006), reports The Hindu. The accused had appealed for bail in the wake of Swami Aseemanand’s confession that the blast was carried out by Hindutva extremists. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which had submitted in the court that it was investigating the matter, said that it would be premature to consider the bail application of the accused on the basis of evidence that was not a part of the case.

After being convicted by a sessions court in Mumbai on August 30 two persons were sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment for carrying out an explosion and planting explosives in theatres in different cities of Maharashtra in 2008, Times of India reported. The accused duo, identified as Ramesh Hanumant Gadkari (53) and Vikram Vinay Bhave (29) allegedly belonged to Sanatan Sanstha, a Hindu revivalist group, which protested against Amhi Pachpute, a satirical play based on Mahabharata for its portrayal of Hindu Gods and Goddesses in poor light. The play was to be staged at Gadkari Rangayatan. The Maharashtra State Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) had arrested six members of this group in connection with the blasts in Thane, Vashi and Panvel.

A special Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) court on November 5 granted bail to all nine persons accused in the Malegaon blasts case (September 8, 2006) after the National Investigation Agency (NIA) told the court it had no objection to any of their bail pleas, according to The Hindu. However, two of the accused were denied release from prison as they are accused in the Mumbai train bomb blast case (July 11, 2206) as well. While the investigating agency did not oppose their bail plea, it did not dismiss any of the charges slapped on them either. All the nine accused have been in prison for the past five years. The Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS), which investigated the case initially, had claimed that many of the arrested accused were members of the banned Islamic outfit Students' Islamic Movement of India (SIMI). Even the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which was later handed over the investigation, took the same line. It was only after the arrested extremist Swami Aseemanand's confession about the alleged involvement of right-wing Hindu fundamentalists in the 2006 Malegaon blast was leaked, that the line of investigation changed.

Seven persons accused of planning and executing the Malegaon serial bomb blasts (September 8, 2006) were released on November 16 after a trial court in Mumbai granted them bail, The Times of India reported. Six of the accused, Salman Farsi, Mohammed Zahid, Raees Ali, Shabbir Masiullah, Noor-ul-Huda and Dr Farog Makhdoomi-were released from the Arthur Road prison, while Abrar Ahmed stepped out of the Byculla jail. Two others - Mohd Ali Shaikh and Asif Bashir Khan alias Junai - who were also granted bail would remain in jail as they are also accused in the Mumbai serial train blasts case (July 11, 2006). On November 5, all nine accused in the case were granted bail on a surety of 50,000 INR each by Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) Court as National Investigation Agency (NIA), probing the case, chose not to oppose their plea for liberty. NIA had contended that after the confession of the arrested extremist leader Swami Aseemanand (arrested for 2007 Mecca Masjid bomb blast) about the alleged involvement of a right-wing group in the Malegaon blast, it reviewed the evidence collected by previous investigating agencies, Maharashtra ATS and CBI, besides gathering some fresh evidence.
