A unique and piquant situation took place when victim survivors came to the Godhra Circuit House trembling with fear as the state of Gujarat was accusing them of committing crimes when all they had done was search in vain for the remains of their lost ones. A specific assurance was given by the Collector, Panchmahals and the SP, Panchmahals to the Secretary CJP, Teesta Setalvad and Coordinator, Shri Rais Khan that the victim survivors would not be arrested when they were giving blood samples!!
