In its closure report filed in the Zakia Jafri case, the RK Raghavan-led Special Investigation Team says Jafri's husband and former MP Ehsan Jafri was killed because he provoked a "violent mob' that had assembled "to take revenge of Godhra incident from the Muslims.'

Ehsan Jafri fired at the mob and "the provoked mob stormed the society and set it on fire.' Around 70 Muslims perished in the massacre at the Gulberg Society compound along with the ex-MP on February 28, 2002.
