Excerpt:
New Delhi, March 21: The army has widened and deepened an internal investigation to find out if Lieutenant Colonel Prasad Srikant Purohit, the officer arrested on a terror charge in the Malegaon blast case, was linked to a network that was tapping more recruits from a particular linguistic and suspected casteist group within the soldiery.

The investigation is a counter-intelligence exercise, a source in army headquarters has confirmed to The Telegraph. The army’s counter- intelligence drive is essentially aimed at working out ways to keep a watch over the Praetorian Guard.
