New Delhi: Hours after walking out of jail on getting bail in the 2008 Malegaon blast case, Lt. Col. Shrikant Prasad Purohit on Wednesday reported to a Southern Command Liaison Unit in Mumbai, army sources said, adding that he will be under suspension and a disciplinary and vigilance ban.
The sources said Lt Colonel Purohit is likely to go to Pune later where the headquarter of his unit is.
It is still not certain which unit he will be attached to. However, he may be attached to a unit in Mumbai, as he has to appear for the Malegaon blast case in a court there.
Under a disciplinary and vigilance ban, he cannot be given any operational duty, posting or study leave.
Army sources, however, said a call on whether he can wear his uniform or not will be taken later.
Lt Colonel Purohit was escorted by an army team as he stepped out of the prison and left for an army unit in Mumbai.
He was granted bail by the Supreme Court on Monday. Lt Colonel Purohit is accused of being part of the conspiracy hatched for carrying out the September 29, 2008 blast in Malegaon, a Muslim-dominated town in Nashik district.
