Narendra Modi got a reprieve in 2002 Gulbarg society case as the metropolitan magistrate rejected Zakia Jafri's plea against clean chit to the Gujarat CM in SIT's closure report
A magistrate court in Ahmedabad on Thursday while giving clean chit to Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi and others in 2002 Gulbarg Society massacre case, rejected the petition filed by Zakia Jafri against the closure report of the Special Investigation Team (SIT).
Metropolitan Magistrate BJ Ganatra rejected the plea of 2002 riot victim Zakia Jafri challenging the closure report filed by the SIT claiming that there was no sufficient material evidence to prosecute Modi and 58 other named in her protest petition.
Zakia, is wife of former member of Parliament (MP) from Congress Ehsan Jafri. The Congress MP was among 69 people killed in the Gulbarg society massacre during the 2002 post-Godhra riots. Zakia had filed a petition objecting the SIT's closure report absolving Modi and 58 others of any conspiracy behind the communal riots that had claimed over 1,000 lives.
