Zakia Jafri, widow of former Congress MP Ehsan Jafri on Tuesday approached the Gujarat High Court challenging the Ahmedabad metropolitan court order upholding SIT's clean chit to Gujarat Chief minister Narendra Modi and others in connection with the 2002 riots case.

The petition filed before the High Court demands to make Narendra Modi and 59 others accused on the charges of criminal conspiracy behind the riots.

On December 26 last year, metropolitan magistrate B J Ganatra had rejected Zakia Jafri's protest petition challenging the Supreme Court-appointed Special Investigation Team (SIT) clean chit to Modi.
