Abhinav Bharat, the suspected Hindu radical outfit behind the September 29 Malegaon blast, wanted to propagate the idea of a “Hindu rashtra” and lieutenant colonel Prasad Purohit had in 2007 conceived a saffron national flag for it, says the chargesheet filed by the anti-terrorism squad of the Maharashtra police in the special MCOCA court on Tuesday.

The organisation “created an impression that they are taking revenge for bomb blasts committed by alleged culprits belonging to the Muslim community,” the chargesheet says.

At least nine alleged members of Abhinav Bharat have been arrested for their alleged involvement in the September 29 Malegaon blast.

Abhinav Bharat wanted a separate constitution for the “Hindu Rashtra” with “Bharat Swarajya, Surajya and Suraksha in its preamble”, the ATS has claimed in the chargesheet.

“They wanted to overthrow the government. It’s horrible. That material has been procured from the laptop of Dayanand Pandey,” special public prosecutor Rohini Salian told the MCOCA court.

Judge Salian reserved the order for taking cognisance of the chargesheet till Wednesday after the defence argued that there was no ground to slap MCOCA against the accused.
