New Delhi, Oct 30 Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) President Rajnath Singh today defended god woman Pragya Singh, accused of involvement in the Malegaon blasts.

Singh accused the investigative agencies of framing the god woman in the wake inadequate evidences.

"If there are evidences then they should be revealed to the public by the government and investigating agencies so that people can judge whether the God woman is guilty or not. If any such evidences were found I would myself consider her terrorist," said Singh.

"The ongoing talks about narco test and brain mapping proves that the investigating authorities don't have adequate evidences against her," added Singh.

Police had arrested Pragya, Major (retired) Ramesh Upadhyay and Samir Kulkarni on October 23, for possible involvement in last month's blast in Maharashtra's Malegaon town.

Five people were killed in the blasts that hit the Muslim-dominated town on September 29.

A Nasik court has remanded the arrested alleged militants to police custody till November 4. However, Kulkarni and Upadhyay have refused any legal assistance. (ANI)
