Maharashtra: Eknath Shinde congratulates Lt Col Purohit for promotion to Brigadier rank
Apr 11, 2026
"Heartfelt congratulations to Colonel Purohit, who was implicated in the Malegaon blast case during the Congress era through doctored evidence, on receiving his promotion to Brigadier. Colonel Purohit is a true patriot, and the court has acquitted him as innocent in the Malegaon case due to lack of evidence. This promotion serves as some measure of solace for the mental agony he has endured," Eknath Shinde said.
