Gujarat riots Senior Advocate Mukul Rohatgi, standing for the SIT, told a court led by Justice A M Khanwilkar, “We will show you that we have faithfully probed everything.”
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court-appointed Special Investigation Team (SIT), which investigated the 2002 post-Godhra riots in Gujarat, denied claims made by the wife of slain Congress MP Ehsan Jafri that it had not “faithfully investigated everything,” saying it had “faithfully investigated everything.”
Gujarat riots “We will show you that we have faithfully investigated everything,” Senior Advocate Mukul Rohatgi, appearing for the SIT, told a bench headed by Justice A M Khanwilkar.
The bench, which also includes Justices Dinesh Maheswhwari and C T Ravikumar, is hearing Zakia Jafri’s appeal against the Gujarat High Court’s October 5, 2017 order upholding the Ahmedabad Metropolitan Magistrate Court’s decision to accept the SIT’s closure report, clearing then-Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi and 63 others.
For instance, Rohatgi made the statement in response to a claim made by Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal, who is representing Jafri, that the SIT had not looked into the presence of a minister in the police control room in depth. “How does the minister have a right to be in the police control room?” “Doesn’t this require a probe?” Sibal inquired.
Therefore, He noted that the bodies of those murdered in the. Godhra train disaster were given over to a private individual, Jaydeep Patel. “How was a dead corpse provided to this man through an official correspondence, contrary to the standards of procedure?” Sibal said, adding that the matter warrants further inquiry.
“A mob had gathered by the time these bodies arrived in Ahmedabad.” Who was it that made the calls? How did anyone know Patel was transporting corpses? I’m not sure, but these need to be looked at. “However, SIT claims that a departmental inquiry is insufficient,” he asserted.
