Ahmedabad : A special court trying the 2002 Gulberg society massacre case reserved its order on an application seeking analysis of call records of 27 people including Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, a few journalists and others.
Special judge B.J. Dhandha has reserved the order on the issue for April 26 after hearing the parties.
The court had received an application in this regard in March. The application moved by an advocate S.M. Vora sought directions to the special investigation team probing the case to rectify the loopholes in evidence brought on record.
It sought authentication of the CD of telephone call records, recording of evidence to prove the call contents and location of the suspects and tie up of loopholes in evidence.
The applicant has sought analysis of the CD by the government analyser. He submitted that analysis of the call details of 27 people (including journalists Rajdeep Sardesai, Joydeep Roy and Brijeshkumar Singh, Chief Minister Narendra Modi and other politicians and leaders,) was necessary. He claimed, otherwise the evidence of the CD would be fruitless and futile.
The application has also sought the SIT to probe into alleged destruction of phone records of Ehsan Jafri, former Congress MP who was killed in the massacre. It further wanted the SIT to record the statements of alleged policemen on whom the criminal responsibility is pinned.
