Zaheera Shaikh, the key witness in the Best Bakery case who turned hostile in court, is now in Mumbai with her family under the protection of the NGO, Citizens for Justice and Peace. She has now come out into the open saying she was threatened by BJP MLA Madhu Srivastava and his cousin, Congress corporator, Chandrakant Srivastava alias Bhattu, both accused in the case. Priyanka Kakodkar met Zaheera. Excerpts:
When did the threats begin?
"Zabaan palat de nahin to accha nahin hoga"
And what did they tell Nafitullah?
What happened in court?
Didn't human rights groups in Vadodara support you?
There were rumours of a bargain with the BJP because you were seen with Madhu Srivastava in court and you left in his car.
