Ahmedabad, Jun 30, 2012, (PTI)
A designated court today deferred to August 29 the pronouncement of
judgement in the Naroda Patiya communal riot case of 2002, in which a
former BJP Minister is one of the 61 accused.
Special Judge Jyotsna Yagnik, who had earlier given a tentative date
of today for delivering the much-awaited judgement put off the verdict
by two months without assigning any reason.
Naroda Patiya, a locality in the city, saw one of the worst riots in
the wake of Sabarmati Express burning incident near Godhra.
Ninety-seven members of a minority community were massacred in the
area by a violent mob on February 28 2002, a day after the Godhra
train fire.
