BBC News: “A court in India has convicted 32 people for involvement in the 2002 religious riots in Gujarat state.
The court acquitted 29 others in the case known as the Naroda Patiya massacre.
Among those convicted were former minister Maya Kodnani and Babu Bajrangi, a former leader of the militant Hindu group Bajrang Dal.
A total of 95 people were killed in the rioting on 28 February in the Naroda Patiya area of Ahmedabad city.
Most of the convicted, including Ms Kodnani and Mr Bajrangi, were found guilty of murder and criminal conspiracy, reports said.
The trial began in August 2009 and charges were framed against 62 people. One of the accused died during the trial.
Ms Kodnani was the junior minister for women and child development in the Gujarat government when she was arrested in connection with the incident in 2009.
More than 1,000 people, mostly Muslims, were killed when riots erupted after 60 Hindu pilgrims died in a train fire in 2002.
It was one of India’s worst outbreaks of religious violence in recent years.”
