In a set back to Chief Minister Narendra Modi, a Supreme Court-appointed amicus curiae has held that he can be prosecuted under various sections of the IPC for promoting enmity among different groups during the 2002 Gujarat riots. The report has been prepared by Raju Ramchandran on the complaint of Zakia Jaffrey. The SIT in its report had rejected suspended IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt's allegations that Modi had given instructions in a meeting held on Feb 27, 2002 to allow the majority community to vent their ire and teach the Minority a lesson in the wake of the Godhra train burning incident.
