Speaking exclusively to TIMES NOW, former Special Public Prosecutor Rohini Salian has said that she would stand by her claim that she was directed to take a stand in the Malegaon Blasts case. Salian has named a National Investigative Officer (NIA) officer who had asked her to go "soft" against the accused in the 2008 Malegaon blasts. NIA sources have told TIMES NOW that the agency believes that these allegations are totally baseless and none of the agency's officers are involved as claimed by Salian.
