Gujarat, Sep 23 (ANI): Zakia Jafri, a frail 76-year-old, has begun what may be the last legal battle to pin blame on Prime Minister Narendra Modi for deadly riots that shook the state of Gujarat when he was chief minister, and claimed her husband's life. In 2013, a panel appointed by the Supreme Court said there was insufficient evidence to prosecute PM Modi. It was the third investigation to come to the same conclusion. Zakia’s late husband Ahsan Jafri, a Congress leader, was hacked to death by a mob in riots that killed at least 1,000 people. She claims to have seen her husband, Ahsan, making desperate calls to the police before being dragged out of his ancestral home by sword-wielding men. Within minutes he was stripped and killed. Hers is the last case still in the court system filed after the riots that tries to implicate Modi. Jafri's two-storey house situated in Ahmedabad's Gulberg Society was a prime target of the violence where 69 Muslim residents were massacred.
