Rohatgi: The enormity of the suggestion that even before the incident of 27.02.2002 - these fellows had material 2 days before because did they know that some elements will come and burn the train or this is to say that the train burning is also by the hindu community.

Rohatgi: Allegation is buildup of arms and communal mobilisation before the Godhra incident. This is something very curious.

Rohatgi: Most of the allegations are brought on record when the protest was filed. The scope of allegation was expanded subsequent to the complaint.

Rohatgi: Now, Rahul Sharma. This person was collecting CDRs by his own from 2 service providers for Ahmedabad and Godhra.
25 Nov 2021 3:43 PM IST
Bench: We may not deal with that evidence in this proceeding, but we will look at it. (In lighter vein) We are saying 'look into' in the same way you (SIT) were said to 'look into'.
