Who killed Omi's dad?
Recently I saw Kai Po Che which is a movie based on the fiction novel 'Three Mistakes of my life' by Chetan Bhagat.
In the movie, Omi's parents get killed when a fire breaks out in a train coach in which they were travelling. Two conflicting political parties were shown - one led by Omi's uncle and another by some Muslim guy.
My guess is that Omi's uncle got his parents killed by having the train set on fire in order to provoke Omi (who didn't seem interested in politics) against the other party which later escalates into a Hindu-Muslim riot near the end.
Has it been explicitly stated (either in the film or any subsequent interviews) who it was that killed Omi's parents?
Best Answer
I had read the book 6 years back but if my memory serves right there was no reference as to who set fire to the train nor was there any reference in the movie as well. Since the train burning is a direct reference to the Godhra train burning that triggered the 2002 Gujarat communal riots, Neither the author Chetan Bhagat of 'Three Mistakes of my Life' nor the director of the movie 'Kai Po Che' would infer on who started the event as it is still a very sensitive issue.
But if you really have to get into the depth of the Godhra case you can check out the linked Wikipedia article.
