BJP leader Pragya Thakur, Lt Col Prasad Purohit and five others are on trial for alleged involvement in the blast conspiracy.

The special court here conducting trial in the 2008 Malegaon blast case has received a bomb threat, a government lawyer said on Tuesday. An unidentified person called the office of the registrar of the sessions court on October 30 and threatened to plant a bomb in courtroom number 26, he told PTI.

The special National Investigation Agency court conducting the trial of the blast case sits in courtroom number 26 at the civil and sessions court complex in south Mumbai.

"We have reported the matter to the Colaba police station," the lawyer added.
