New Delhi: Zaibunnisa breaks down while recounting custodial torture to her son Muhammad Arif Kagzi, one of the accused for Ahmedabad blasts now languishing in Sabarmati jail. Kagzi had a readymade cloth shop in Ahmedabad. He was on his shop on the day of the blasts — July 26, 2008. Gujarat ATS questioned him for four days in the first week of August and let him go everyday in the evening. He was again taken for 10-minute questioning at 11 pm on August 6. His elderly mother Zaibunnisa is awaiting the end of that 10 minute.
