Ahmedabad: All the 63
people acquitted by a court in the 2002 Godhra train burning case
were released from Sabarmati Central Jail here Tuesday and taken
to Godhra in two buses.
The acquitted people belong to Godhra, 160 km away. The two buses
were escorted by police vehicles. One bus contained all their
belongings, while they sat in the other bus.
The police have been told to personally hand over the released
people to their relatives, said an official.
A fast-track court here Tuesday convicted 31 people for hatching a
conspiracy to burn the Sabarmati Express train in Godhra in
Gujarat in 2002, killing 59 people and sparking one of the
bloodiest communal riots in India. It let off 63 people, including
a key accused, for lack of evidence.
