Sibal: [Shreekumar says] Intelligence was available but no response from CP Ahmedabad.

Sibal: [Shreekumar says] I had specifically pointed out that extremist of VHP and Bajrang Dal was contemplating action...Media played decisive role in keeping the momentum alive.

Sibal: But, it was not investigated. Kindly see pg 162. it goes on and on your lordships. Statement of Shreekumar and letter he gave to Gov. pg 163.

Bench: This statement was recorded by whom?

Sibal: SIT. this is 2009. 99% of the documents were with SIT prior the SC order.

Sibal: The leaflets are distributed without any name, obviously that was a part of conspiracy.

Sibal: Kindly see pg 88. Milords pg 101 last sentence. This is from Citizen’s Tribunal. There are riffle training camps and Bajrang Dal workers are given trishuls and trained to use them.

Sibal: Police indicated no such happening [incidents of rape] but they still put such headlines. They write in small print that police denies it, but the damage is done.
