Nine years ago in Gujarat, the 19-year-old woman student Ishrat Jahan and three others were shot dead by police. What was described as a gun battle with terrorists is now turning out to have been a massacre of innocents. Today in Delhi there was a public meeting followed by a candle-light vigil. In the photo, the young woman in black is Ishrat Jahan’s sister.
