The office of the Special Investigation Team, probing some post-Godhra riots cases, is unlikely to be the place where Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi will be questioned on March 27 due to security reasons, government sources said today.
Taking into consideration the security aspect of the chief minister, it was most unlikely that Modi would be questioned at the SIT office in Old Secretariat building in Gandhinagar, they said.
Modi, according to his lawyer Mahesh Jethmalani, has agreed to appear before the panel on March 27 in connection with a complaint of Zakia Jaffery, widow of former Congress MP Eshan Jaffery, who was killed in Gulburg society riot case of 2002 along with 69 others.
Zakia in her complaint had alleged that Modi and 62 others, including his cabinet colleagues, police officials and senior bureaucrats had aided and abetted post-Godhra riots of 2002 which left over 1,000 people dead.
