Gujarat riots: Order on Zakia Jafri’s plea against clean chit to Modi today

Zakia Jafri, whose husband Ehsan Jafri was burnt alive during the 2002 riots in Gujarat, will find out today if her case against chief minister Narendra Modi, now the BJP’s prime ministerial candidate, and 59 others stands closed. Mrs Jafri has alleged that Mr Modi colluded with senior ministers, bureaucrats and the police to fan the communal violence that tore through the state.
