Gujarat riot victim Zakia Jafri passed away, and breathed her last at the age of 86

Gujarat riot victim Zakia Jafri has passed away. She was the wife of Congress leader Ehsan Jafri. Ehsan Jafri was killed along with 68 others in Gulbarg Housing Society during the 2002 Gujarat riots. Zakia Jafri fought a legal battle demanding an inquiry against high state officials, alleging a larger conspiracy behind the riots.
Zakia Jafri died due to age-related problems. She breathed her last in Ahmedabad. She was 86 years old. Until 2023, Zakia used to visit the remains of her house in Gulbarg Society. She had become the face of the fight for justice for the victims due to her long legal battle against the Gujarat government since 2006.
Zakia Jafri's son Tanveer Jafri told PTI that my mother had gone to my sister's house in Ahmedabad. She completed her morning routine and was interacting normally with her family members. During this time she complained of feeling uneasy. Doctors were called. She was declared dead at around 11:30 am.
