Srivastava’s name appears in the list of 63 submitted by Zakia. He will now appear before the SIT on March 19.
The SIT has also summoned Narendra Modi to appear before it for questioning on March 21.
Ehsan Jaffery was killed during the 2002 riots in Gulburg Society along with 69 others.
In April 2009, the Supreme Court asked the SIT to inquire into Zakia’s complaint.
