Tehelka says that it has obtained a copy of the report submitted by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) to the Supreme Court. The SIT was appointed by the Supreme Court to investigate the role of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and others in the riots that followed the burning of the Sabaramati Express on 27th February 2002. The favorable impression sought to be created by the associates of Modi and journalists sympathetic to him is strongly negated by the many critical observations of Modi and his administration contained in the report.
