Ahmedabad, Jun 17 (IBNS): The 11 people convicted for murder in the Gulbarg Society massacre case have been sentenced to life an jail by the Ahmedabad court on Friday, according to media reports.

The judge called the massacre the darkest day in the history of civil society, media reported.
A special SIT court on Jun 2 gave its verdict in the 2002 post-Godhra riots case of Gulbarg Society when 24 people were found guilty, 11 of murder.
