Comments Of The Chairman SIT, Gujarat
On The Enquiry Report (Preliminary) of May 2010 in SLP (Crl.) 1088/2088
Manas Dasgupta in the Hindu: Raghavan critical of Zakia Jafri's charges:
Says they made investigation difficult, as witnesses were not prepared to speak out before Special Investigation Team
Chairman of the Supreme Court-appointed Special Investigation Team R.K. Raghavan, was highly critical of the petition filed in the Supreme Court by Zakia Jafri levelling sweeping charges against Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and 62 officials and leaders for their alleged involvement in the 2002 communal riots.
Agreeing with his inquiry officer, A. K. Malhotra, who found most of the allegations baseless and unsubstantiated and gave a clean chit to Mr. Modi and most of his senior police officers in handling the riots, Mr. Raghavan said Ms. Jafri's charges made Mr. Malhotra's task difficult, as the witnesses were not prepared to speak out before the SIT.
