Best Bakery: Five acquitted, lifer for four upheld

July 09, 2012 17:35

Fourteen people, who had taken refuge in the Best Bakery on Hanuman Tekdi in Gujarat's Vadodara city on March 1, 2002, during the post-Godhra riots, were killed by a mob of 20 people.

Of the 17 accused, nine were convicted and sentenced to life by a special court in Mumbai in 2006. The nine had then approached the High Court challenging the order. In a twist to the case, prime witness Yasmeen Shaikh had earlier this year filed an application before the High Court claiming that she was forced to give evidence against the accused by social activist Teesta Setalvad.
