NEW DELHI — An Indian trial court convicted 32 people on Wednesday — including a former state minister and a radical Hindu leader — of involvement in riots 10 years ago that killed 95 Muslims in the Naroda Patia neighborhood in the western state of Gujarat.

The verdict acknowledged for the first time the role of a politician in inciting Hindu mobs after 58 Hindu pilgrims and activists died in a train fire that Muslims were suspected of starting.
