Lt Col Prasad Shrikant Purohit with wife Aparna

Earlier this week, when the Supreme Court granted bail to Lt Col Prasad Shrikant Purohit, an alleged key suspect in the Malegaon Blast case of 2008, his family was in the hope that he'd finally return home to join in the Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations. But, despite walking out of Navi Mumbai's Taloja Jail two days ago, Purohit hasn't been allowed to go home yet. Instead, he has been deployed in Unit I of the Coloba Army unit, where he has been restrained from speaking with the media.
