Gujarat High Court grants regular bail to Gulberg Society massacre convict
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.
