Sri Ram Sena founder Pramod Muthalik, who was questioned by the Mumbai Anti-Terrorist Squad in connection with the Malegaon blast case, is confident that no case will be made out against him.

Muthalik, who was produced before a Mangalore court on Saturday after interrogation, said he was asked certain questions regarding the Malegaon case.

"I don't think the ATS has anything against me," he told media persons outside the court, adding, "I also don't think I will be arrested."

Two members of the Mumbai ATS -- Inspector Vakhade and Assistant Inspector Sayyad -- had arrived in Mangalore city on Friday to interrogate Muthalik. The decision to interrogate Muthalik was taken following the statements of Lt Colonel Purohit (Malegaon blast prime accused).

The army man had said that he knew Muthalik and had also appreciated the work being done by him. Further, the ATS also sought to question Muthalik regarding another accused by the name, Pravin Muthalik, who the ATS believes planted the bomb along with two other persons.
