A court at Halol town in Gujarat’s Panchmahal district has acquitted all 35 persons in connection with four different post-Godhra 2002 riots in which three people were killed.
In its order of June 12, which was made available on June 15, the court of additional sessions judge Harsh Trivedi also slammed “pseudo-secular media and politicians” for claiming that the riots were planned.
The 35 persons were accused of murder and rioting after violence erupted near Kalol bus stand, Delol village and Derol station area on February 28, 2002, a day after the Sabarmati Express train burning incident at Godhra.
