On July 31, 2025, a special NIA court in Mumbai acquitted all seven accused, including former BJP MP Sadhvi Pragya and Lt Colonel Prasad Shrikant Purohit, citing a lack of credible evidence, defective sanction orders under the UAPA, and inconclusive forensic findings.
The court specifically noted that suspicion alone does not justify a conviction and that there was no proof that the bomb was placed on the motorcycle traced to Pragya.
