Thread: The #Massacre at Best Bakery
On March 01, 2002, the Best Bakery area was attacked and burned down by a deranged mob of #RSS situated in Hanuman Tekri. The Best Bakery case was a symbol of the 2002 #Gujarat carnage.
Its controversial nature attracted the allegation of the State Government, implying the government’s compliance in it. 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# Gujrat riots (and the alleged State Government complicity in it) that followed the #Godhra train massacre.
