Gujarat High Court grants regular bail to Gulberg Society massacre convict

Ahmedabad, June 27 (IBNS) : The Gujarat High Court on Tuesday granted regular bail to Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader Atul Vaidya who was sentenced to seven years imprisonment in the 2002 Gulberg Society massacre case in Ahmedabad, media reports said.

This is the first instance of a convict getting regular bail in this case.

According to reports, a  division bench led by justice Abhilasha Kumari held that  Vaidya’s appeal petition against his conviction is pending and he has already served one year of imprisonment.

It observed that Vaidya can be granted bail on the basis of  the evidence against him.

Vaidya , along with 23 others, was convicted last year for the massacre of  69 people at Gulberg Society, a Muslim-dominated area,  during the post-Godhra riots.

. Among the victims was former Congress MP Ahsan Jafri, whose wife accused the then chief minister Narendra Modi, among others, of masterminding the riots.

However, the Supreme Court gave a clean chit to Modi and others.
