Zakia Jafri filed cases seeking a probe into the alleged larger conspiracy behind the 2002 Gujarat riots.
She pursued a legal battle against high state functionaries, accusing them of complicity in the riots.
Zakia Jafri challenged the clean chit given by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) to then Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi and others.
Her legal battle began in 2006 with a complaint against Modi and several others, demanding a chargesheet.
She approached the Gujarat High Court after her protest petition was rejected by the Magistrate court.
In 2022, the Supreme Court dismissed her plea, accepting the SIT’s clean chit to the state functionaries.
Zakia Jafri also accused the Gujarat government of delaying the deployment of the Army during the riots.
