IRGC’s Wave 97 Hits US Base In Kuwait, Beersheba Industrial Zone; Jebel Ali Vessel Burns

After nearly two decades of legal battle and controversy, Lieutenant Colonel Prasad Shrikant Purohit has been cleared for promotion to the rank of Brigadier by the Indian Army. The move comes after the Armed Forces Tribunal stayed his retirement and reviewed his claims of career setbacks due to the prolonged Malegaon blast case trial. A special National Investigation Agency court had earlier acquitted him, stating that charges were not proven beyond reasonable doubt. The decision now raises key questions about the impact of long legal proceedings on serving officers and how institutions respond once courts deliver verdicts. While the Army’s decision is being seen as a corrective step, it has also sparked political debate. The case continues to remain a sensitive chapter in India’s legal and security landscape.
