Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, who was on a fast-unto-death for not being allowed to take a holy dip during the ongoing Simhastha Kumbh at Ujjain, will take a holy dip in the Kshipra river tomorrow.

Citing security reasons, they have not permitted her to visit the mela.

Sadhvi who was discharged by the National Investigation Agency in connection with the Malegaon 2008 blasts case is now on a hunger strike. While she does have a court order which grants her permission to visit the mela, the police will have to make arrangements for her security. Her supporters said the chief minister finally relented as he had no other option.

Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur along with 26 policemen will be in Ujjain on Wednesday for the Simhastha Kumbh mela.

The Sadhvi also trained her guns at those who allegedly implicated her in the Malegaon blasts. I had always said that I am not the culprit, but I got a clean chit after eight years.

Pragya, who was in Bhopal Central Jail, has now been shifted to the Pandit Khushilal Sharma Ayurveda Hospital in Bhopal for treatment.

Sources told Mail Today that on arrival in Ujjain, her blood pressure had dropped to an alarming 65/30, but her condition was soon stabilised.
