Brother focuses on holiday death
Saeed Dawood
Saeed Dawood who was killed in India
A man whose brother was murdered while on holiday in India has been to the country to make a documentary about the killing.

Bilal Dawood, from Batley, travelled to the Gujarat region after his brother Saeed, his cousin and their friend were killed on holiday when fighting broke out between Hindu and Muslim groups.

The group, Saeed Dawood, Shakil Dawood and Mohamed Aswat were caught up in the mob violence in February 2002 when the two religious groups in the area clashed.

A large number of people died in the outbreak of violence, but relatives of the British men have been lobbying for more pressure to be put on the Indian authorities to track down the killers.

Bilal Dawood told BBC Radio Leeds: "The Indian Supreme Court has now ordered a central investigation into the deaths in the region.

"It was an extremely weird experience when we went the first time, searching for my brother and cousin.

"This time we were looking at the places (they died)...their last resting places, it was quite hard."

"But we have to fight for justice by bringing people to court."

No-one has yet been brought to trial for the deaths.

Now Saeed's brother has used a video camera to record his trip to the region and plans to make a documentary about the journey.
