Ahmedabad: The Mehsana
additional sessions court Tuesday issued an arrest warrant against
an accused in the Dipda Darwaja massacre case in which 11 people
were butchered during the 2001 riots.
Mehsana Additional Session Judge S.C. Srivastav ordered a
nonbailable arrest warrant against accused Viral Natwarlal Patel.
All 85 accused in the riot case were summoned Tuesday as the court
wanted to record their statements on two witnesses' testimonies.
Two of the accused were reported absent from the proceedings.
Lawyer Govind Bhrambhatt presented a medical certificate for one
absent accused. In Patel's case, the lawyer told the court that he
is absconding since the last six months.
The lawyer also informed court that Patel's family was approached
but they too are unaware of his whereabouts.
In the post-Godhra riots, 11 people were butchered in the Dipda
Darwaja area of Visnagar town in Mehsana district. The remains of
two people were found from the site, while the other nine bodies
were thrown in a village tank two km away.
