Why did Amit Shah keep SIT in dark about Maya Kodnani?

Eleven Muslims were killed during the state-wide communal riots in Gujarat in 2002. A total of 82 persons are facing trial in the case.

Appearing as Maya Kodnani's witness in the 2002 Naroda Gam massacre case, BJP president Amit Shah today told the special SIT court that she was with him in Gujarat Assembly on the day, and not in the Ahmedabad locality where 11 Muslims were killed.

"Maya Kodnani was not present in Naroda Gam. She was inside the state Assembly at 8.30 am," Shah, who finally appeared before the special SIT court in Ahmedabad as Kodnani's defence witness, said.
