New Delhi, March 15: The Supreme Court today asked the SIT, headed by former CBI director R K Raghavan, to consider whether further probe was required against Gujarat Chief Minsister Narendra Modi and 52 others in the complaint filed by Jakia Jafri, widow of former Congress MP Ehsan Jafri burnt alive in post Godhra riots.
A bench of justices D K Jain, P Sathasivam and Aftab Alam asked the Special Investigation Team to examine the observations submitted by senior counsel and amicus curiae Raju Ramachandran on the team’s report and take appropriate decision on conducting further investigations.
“The SIT inferences and evidence do not match its findings,” the bench said while asking the SIT to submit its report by April 25 on whether further investigations were required into the complaint.
