Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, a key accused in 2008 Malegaon bomb blast case, was produced in a local court here on Tuesday in connection with the murder of RSS worker Sunil Joshi.

Besides Sadhvi Pragnya, other accused Ramcharan Patel, Harshad Solanki, Vasudev Parmar and Anandraj Kataria were also produced in the court of Additional District Judge (ADJ) V K Pandey on Tuesday amid tight security.

Pragnya moved an application in the court seeking permission to stay in Bhopal jail, as she wanted to get herself treated in the Ayurvedic Sansthan in Bhopal. She also sought the copy of charges levelled against her.
