Modi was allowed to distance himself from police failure to prevent 2002 #GujaratRiots, despite SIT evidence of police presence at siege of #GulbergSociety and related wireless communications. 2/6
SIT acknowledged #GulbergSociety was set ablaze & many killed there by 3.45 pm. It recorded that #Modi had, meanwhile, held meetings with his officials tracking the violence as it unfolded and issuing instructions. 3/6
Yet, while interrogating Modi on March 27, 2010, the SIT left unchallenged #Modi’s claim that he somehow did not know of the Gulberg massacre despite all his meetings with police & home dept officials. 4/6
The SIT got away with such a probe despite this observation from #SupremeCourt amicus curiae Raju Ramachandran in January 2011: “There is nothing to show that the CM intervened on 28.02.2002 when the riots were taking place.” 5/6
At the end of a 6-hour siege of #GulbergSociety, #Hindu mobs murdered 69 people, including #Congress MP Ehsan Jafri, around whose neck a burning tyre was hurled, before his hands were dismembered & he was burned alive. 6/6
