The Suleman Usman Bakery trial, which involves six policemen accused of murdering eight unarmed Muslims during the 1992-93 riots in Mumbai, has been marked by significant delays and critical evidence challenges. Dr. A G Shinde, a key witness who performed the post-mortems, took over three years to complete his testimony, managing to testify only three times due to frequent adjournments. Despite his health issues, including Parkinson’s disease, Shinde traveled from Kolhapur for each court appearance, often returning without testifying. The raid on the bakery occurred on January 9, 1993, amidst the post-Babri Masjid demolition riots, and all victims had no criminal records. Originally, 18 policemen were charged with murder, but many were discharged, and three have since died. Notably, original post-mortem reports crucial to the case were destroyed in 2005, which has complicated the prosecution's efforts. The Srikrishna Commission's investigation into the riots indicated that victims were shot while attempting to flee, contradicting the defense's narrative. Dr. Shinde defended his post-mortem methods against attempts to discredit him during the trial.
