A court in Ahmedabad dismissed a petition filed by a killed Congress leader's widow challenging the closure report of the Supreme Court-appointed Special Investigation Team giving a clean chit to Modi and 58 others.
The petition challenging the SIT closure report, was filed by Zakia E. Jafri, widow of slain former Congress MP Ehsan Jafri who was among the 69 people killed in the Gulbarg Society massacre in Ahmedabad, Feb 28, 2002 during the riots in the wake of the Godhra train incident.
Jafri in her petition had contended that Modi and others should be tried for their role in the riots conspiracy which had triggered violence across the state.
