About seven years after the Naroda Patiya massacre during Gujarat's 2002 communal carnage that officially left 85 dead, the Supreme Court-appointed Special Investigation Team (STI) has now added one more victim to the list: a six-month-old foetus, killed in the womb of its mother Lalbi Shaikh when she was butchered by the mob along with six of her children, on February 28, 2002.

Lalbi's husband, a shopkeeper of Faizal Park in Vatva, Abdul Majid Sheikh (65) in his deposition before the SIT has said that Lalbi was more than six-months pregnant when she and the couple's six children were chopped to death at their home in Jawan Nagar. "Before she died, a gynaecologist near Saijpur Tower told us that our child was healthy in the womb. Lalbi and I together even watched our baby's tender movements on a sonography machine in her clinic. This was three days before she was killed," Majid told this newspaper.
