AHMEDABAD: Members of Muslim community from Khambhat town have approached the Gujarat high court demanding transfer of investigation from local police to either CID (crime) or the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in the FIR lodged against leaders who took out the procession on Ram Navmi leading to communal flare up last month.
During the Shobha Yatra taken out on Ram Navmi, communal violence took place and there were incidents of looting, burning of private properties, houses and shops. Religious places too were damaged. Later, Anand district administration carried out a demolition drive and pulled down illegally put up business establishments of those accused of rioting.
