Godhra: Police on August 28 arrested one more person allegedly involved in the burning of the S-6 coach of the Sabarmati Express near Godhra railway station last year, official sources said.

Siddique Mohmmed Morya, who was absconding after the train carnage, was arrested from Satpul Odha locality of the Panchamahal district town early August 28 morning, sources added.

He has been handed over to the Railway police, which is investigating the case.

Fifty-nine Ramsevaks, returning from Ayodhya, were charred to death when miscreants torched the S-6 bogie of Sabarmati Express on February 27 last year, sparking off the worst-ever communal riots in Gujarat.
