Gujarat Riots- Zakia Jafri's Plea Against Clean Chit To Narendra Modi- LIVE UPDATES From Supreme Court
Sibal: Now I come to Public Prosecutor. Further investigated was required to establish conspiracy.
Sibal: Only 2 preventive arrests were made and that too of people of minority communities. Why such incidents not investigated has not come to light. SIT has not investigated police officers about why they did not investigate these.
Sibal: It is one thing not to investigate the matter and another for SIT to say things contrary to record.
Sibal: [reads about violent mobilisation and processions] Why curfew was not imposed earlier when all of this was happening? 14 FIRs in Ahmedabad itself. These are part of the SIT record. How SIT could make this statement before your lordships? I wonder how.
Sibal: No questions about why was no preventive action taken.
Sibal: They (SIT) had not responded to this even in their arguments.
Sibal: The other matter that require investigation. Why was Commissioner of police not asked any questions if he withholds official information for 6 years rather. For Rahul Sharma they criticised, this man kept it for 6 years. These came in public domain after order of SC.
Sibal: Then at pg. 43. This is the presence of those two ministers. I'll skip this because your lordship knows the respective arguments.
Sibal: Kindly take 1375 of the closure report. 14 FIRs were lodged before 1 o’clock. So this argument that nothing was happening before 1 is contrary to record
Sibal: SIT argued there was no violence till 1. See item 13. 9:15 in the morning there is tension. Item 16. All these acts of violence were taking place. Record shows violence before 1, argument is no violence before 1 P.M.
