CNN-IBN

Mumbai: The police remand of one of the Malegaon bomb blast accused Dayanand Pandey ends on Wednesday.

The self-styled guru was arrested from Kanpur for his alleged involvement in the blast.

Pandey was sent to police custody on November 12 joint civil judge H K Ganatra in Mumbai.

maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad has accused Pandey of having attended meetings held in Bhopal, Pune and Faridabad prior to the September 29 Malegaon blast.

The ATS has also claimed that Pandey played a key role in making the bomb used in the blast.

Meanwhile, the Sangh Parivar is scheduled to launch a protest march against the the United Progressive Alliance Government in Delhi on Wednesday.

It will be protesting against what it calls the "vilification of Hindu saints and Army officers in the name of Hindu terrorism" by the UPA.

The Bharatiya Janata Party, too, is taking the issue forward.

With Assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh and Delhi round the corner, top leaders like LK Advani and Narendra Modi are turning the alleged ill-treatment of Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, arrested for her alleged involvement in the Malegaon blast case, into a campaign issue.
