Bakery case: Zaheera turns hostile

The retrial in the Best Bakery took a dramatic twist on Wednesday, with Zaheera making a U- turn and retracting her statement. She claimed that her testimonies had been made under pressure and threats from social activist Teesta Setlavad. "I was forced to change my first testimony in Vadodara trial court," said Zaheera.
Teesta had intervened on Zaheera's behalf earlier, when she had for the first time turned hostile. Teesta took the case to Supreme Court and ensured that the Best Bakery case was reopened.
Zaheera's statement has stunned all those who have been fighting on her behalf. (via NDTV)

Good show Modi!
Modi said:

"Meanwhile, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi today targeted the role of NGOs in cases as that of Zaheera. 'Yesterday's incidents raises serious questions. The country, its citizens and constitutional bodies now need to look into the role of NGO's,' he held." Via NDTV.com
