Huge relief for Narendra Modi
December 26, 2013 16:38
This comes as a huge relief for Narendra Modi since this is the first time that a court of law has pronounced him not guilty. All the 62 accused who have been named by Zakia Jafri have been given a clean chit.
Magistrate BJ Ganatra had earlier said he would deliver the order on October 28, but it was deferred to December 2, and then to December 26.
Zakia Jafri is the wife of former Congress MP Ehsan Jafri, who was among 69 people killed in the Gulbarg Society massacre here during the 2002 riots.
SIT had submitted its report on February 8 last year, clearing Modi's name in any conspiracy.
Jafri had filed a petition against the SIT report in April seeking its rejection and an order to file chargesheet against Modi and others during the 2002 riots.
