On February 27, 2002, the 2002 Godhra train burningincident took place when some people attacked the Sabarmati Express near Godhra station in Gujarat.
The train was running from Muzaffarpur in Bihar to Ahmedabad in Gujarat and was carrying pilgrims coming back from Ayodhya.
Hundreds of karsevaks (religious volunteers) were travelling on the Sabarmati Express. They had attended a Purnahuti Yajna in Ayodhya which was held by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and was connected to the Ram temple movement.
One coach of the train, S-6, was set on fire which resulted in the death of 59 passengers.
