AHMEDABAD, India (Reuters) - An Indian man charged over the train torching that triggered Gujarat's Hindu-Muslim bloodshed two years ago has asked for bail so he can go home to have sex with his wife, court officials said on Tuesday.
Firozkhan Zafarkhan's two-page handwritten application to the court in the state's main city, Ahmedabad (news - web sites), says he and his wife are suffering mental trauma because their physical needs have not been met for such a long time.
He wants to be allowed out of jail for 30 days. Zafarkhan, a Muslim, said his religion and India's conservative culture forbid him from having sex with anyone but his wife.
He is charged under a tough anti-terrorism law with being part of a mob that torched a train in the Gujarat city of Godhra in February 2001, burning alive 59 Hindu pilgrims, including many women and children.
