Prime suspect in Godhra carnage held

The prime suspect in the Godhra train carnage case, Mohammad Hussain Kolota,

local Congress leader and president of Godhra Municipality, was on Sunday

arrested bringing the total number of arrests in connection with the attack to

27.

 

Kolota, convenor of city Congress minority cell, was picked up by personnel of

the anti-dacoity squad of the Godhra police from the residence of one Iqbal in

Polan Bazar area during a combing operation, Inspector General of Police Deepak

Swaroop said.

 

Kolota, 45, has been evading arrest since the attack on the Sabarmati Express

last Wednesday, which killed 58 people.

 

Police have already arrested two municipal councillors and were looking for

another two -- Bilal Haji and Farookh Bhana -- in connection with the mayhem

that led to widespread communal violence in several parts of Gujarat claiming

nearly 430 lives.

 

Others arrested from different places were identified as Siraj Jamsa, Zabir

Kala, Abdul Sheikh and Abdul Rauf Yayman.

 

Earlier, the police had arrested 22 people, including two councillors -- Salim

Shaikh and Abdul Rahim Dantia. Both the councillors had contested the polls on

independent symbols.
