Maya Kodnani, Gujarat Riots Convict, Can Call Amit Shah, Says Court

BJP chief Amit Shah must appear in court to explain whether he was with Maya Kodnani, who worked with him as a minister in Gujarat, on a day when Muslims were killed in 2002 on the outskirts of the city of Ahmedabad, a judge has decided. Ms Kodnani, already convicted of murder in one case, is being tried separately for the massacre of Muslims in another village. She had told the court that Mr Shah should be summoned to testify on her behalf because he is crucial to her alibi.
