2002 Godhra convicts' death sentences reduced to life
The Gujarat High Court on Monday commuted the death sentence of 11 convicts in the 2002 Godhra train burning case to life imprisonment. A Special Investigation Team (SIT) court had in 2011 sentenced the 11 to death, and awarded life imprisonment to 20 others in the case. A Sabarmati Express train coach was set on fire in 2002, killing 59.
