Best Bakery case ( also called Tulsi Bakery case ) was a legal case involving the burning down of the Best Bakery , a small outlet in the Hanuman Tekri area in Vadodara , Gujarat , India , on 1 March 2002 . During the incident , a mob targeted the Sheikh family who ran the bakery and had taken refuge inside , resulting in the deaths of 14 ( 11 Muslims including family members and 3 Hindu employees of the bakery ) . This case has come to symbolize the carnage in 2002 Gujarat riots ( and the alleged State Government complicity in it ) that followed the Godhra train Massacre . All the 21 accused were acquitted by the court due to shoddy police work and issues with evidence . It was the first case to be tried with respect to the Godhra riots
