The Gujarat High Court today rejected the petition filed by Zakia Jafri challenging a lower court order upholding the special investigation team's clean chit to the then chief minister Narendra Modi and other bureaucrats in the 2002 Gujarat riots case.
Zakia Jafri is the wife of slain former MP Ehsan Jafri, who was among 68 people who were killed at the Gulberg Society when a mob attacked it on February 28, 2002, a day after the Godhra train burning incident which set off riots in the state.
She and activist Teesta Setalvad's NGO Citizen for Justice and Peace had moved the criminal review petition against a magistrate's order upholding the clean chit given by the SIT to Modi and others regarding the allegations of a "larger criminal conspiracy" behind the riots.
