India Matters: Trial by terror

In December 1992, following the demolition of the Babri Masjid, communal violence was ignited in chosen pockets of Surat, Gujarat’s most industrialised city. 150 people were killed in those attacks, most of them Muslims. In January 1993, in seemingly retaliatory attack, a bomb explosion near the diamond market killed a schoolgirl and another at the railway station injured 38 people. In 1995, 11 men were arrested and convicted and two months ago. After 19 long years, the families and friends of the 33 people killed in the Akshardham attack are still waiting for closure as the real perpetrators of the terror strike roam free.
