A court in India has found 24 people guilty of involvement in one of the most notorious massacres during the 2002 anti-Muslim riots in Gujarat, the BBC reported.

    The special court acquitted 36 others in the so-called Gulbarg Society killings in Ahmedabad city. A mob attacked the complex, hacking and burning 69 people to death. 

    The riots were some of the worst since Indian independence. More than 1,000 people, mostly Muslims, died after a train fire killed 60 Hindu pilgrims.
