Ahmedabad: The two-man riot inquiry commission will visit the ill-fated S-6 bogie of the Sabarmati Express on December 22, along with a technical team of the railways at the Godhra railway station, where 58 'Ram Sevaks' were killed on February 27.

Justice K G Shah (retired), heading the inquiry commission, on December 21 said the purpose of the visit is to ascertain burning pattern of the coach, especially after the commission has collected sufficient evidence about the incident during the inquiry.

The commission will visit Vadodara the next day to meet the district authorities for making necessary arrangements to hold the next evidence recording meeting for all those affected during the post-Godhra communal violence in these areas, he said.

Justice Shah urged the people to approach them fearlessly and depose honestly about the events to the commission.

The commission hoped to complete the probe and submit the report by the end of the extended deadline of June 4, 2003 he added.
