Taking a cue from the Best Bakery trial, the victim of a gangrape during the post-Godhra riots, Bilkis Yakoob Rasool, has moved the Supreme Court seeking transfer of the trial of her case outside Gujarat.
Bilkis, who had first approached the Supreme Court seeking a CBI probe into her rape by a mob during the riots, said the situation the State was not conducive for a trial in her case and also cited a CBI report in support of her contention.
The CBI report had castigated the local police for a shoddy job and cited that the killings that took place alongside the gangrape of Bilkis occurred in a planned manner. It had arrested the Investigating Officer in the case.
