Several eye-witnesses and even police witnesses had deposed exposing the criminally negligent role of both Tandon and Gondia and other officers. Thereafter in January 2012, victim witnesses had filed an application under section 319 praying that they be arraigned as accused. Documentary evidence that had come ion record (again through an application filed by victim witnesses and an order of the special court on 7.9.2009) that showed the police control room records etc has also pointed to errant and criminally negligent behavior by these policemen.......Partially allowing the application at that stage, the Judge had kept any decision on the two police officers pending because at that stage the SIT itself had argued that the ongoing investigation in the Zakia Jafri case had still to be completed and that these officers were being investigated in that complaint. Investigating Officer in the Zakia Jafri complaint Shri AK Malhotra had in his report filed before the Supreme Court mentioned that investigations against Tandon and Gondia were still on.

So SIT investigation is still on! This is what Ashish Khetan, who conducted the crucial Tehelka Sting has to say about SIT investigation--

In March 2008, the Supreme Court constituted a Special Investigations Team (SIT), headed by retired CBI director RK Raghavan, to re-investigate nine major riot cases, including the Godhra train burning, Gulberg Society and Naroda Patiya massacres.

I wrote to the SIT and asked to depose before it. Soon, I received a communiqué from Raghavan’s camp office and I was told to appear before him. I appeared before the full panel of SIT, which at the time included Geeta Johri, Shivanand Jha and Ashish Bhatia — all Gujarat cadre IPS officers. I submitted the full raw footage and the transcripts. I made a passionate plea in my meeting with Raghavan. “If I, as an individual reporter, with no powers other than that of a common citizen, can gather so much evidence and peel off so many layers of judicial subversion and miscarriage of justice, I’m sure that your team with full statutory powers and the mandate given by the Supreme Court can get to the bottom of 2002 riots,” I told Raghavan. All along, the SIT members kept a straight face and didn’t say much.

I didn’t know at the time that what lay ahead was a tortuous journey for the victims and the witnesses. As time went by, the much-hyped SIT only turned out to be a sophisticated version of the Gujarat police — but only slightly. www.tehelka.com/story_main53.asp

Saroja has spoken the truth,the way critical evidence has been destroyed.

The SIT must accept complaints  and investigate the Cops Named by the victims.

Documents are either too routine that they can be destroyed or so sensitive that they can not be revealed. This farce of SIT has gone on for too long. It is acting more as a defence team for the accused,

The so-called SIT has to protect police officers because if the police officers are criminally charged, one or more of them may turn state witnesses and testify against Modi.
