New Delhi: The
Supreme Court-appointed Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing
the 2002 Gujarat riot cases Monday submitted a status report
before the court.
The report was filed giving details of investigation after amicus
curiae Raju Ramachandran give his comments on its (SIT) earlier
report.
The SIT report was submitted to the court in a sealed cover which
would be opened when the matter comes up for hearing April 27.
The SIT was asked to investigate into the complaint by Zakia
Jaffri, the widow of former Congress MP Ehsan Jaffri killed in the
Gulberg society massacre in the wake of post-Godhra riots in
Gujarat. In all 69 people were killed in the massacre.
A Gujarat cadre Indian Police Service officer Sanjiv Bhatt, in a
recent affidavit before the apex court, alleged that instructions
were issued by Chief Minister Narendra Modi that the Muslims
needed to be taught "a lesson" for the February 2002 Godhra train
burning that left 59 kar sevaks dead and that Hindus should "be
allowed to vent their anger".
He alleged the administration and police were told not to
effectively intervene in controlling the rioters as Muslims needed
to be taught a lesson.
In the course of the last hearing of the matter, Ramnachandran
gave his comments on the earlier SIT report on its investigation
into the complaint by Zakia Jaffari.
The court asked the SIT chairman R.K. Raghvan to look into the
points raised by the amicus curiae and conduct further
investigation on it.
