New Delhi: Lt Col. Prasad Purohit, one of the main accused in the Samjhauta and Malegaon blasts cases, has written to Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar requesting restoration of his honour.

In his letter dated April 4, he claims he has been falsely implicated in the case and has been behind the bars for more than seven years now. "I have been robbed of honour, dignity and rank and punished for serving the nation," he said.
