AHMEDABAD: The Supreme Court-appointed Special Investigation Team (SIT) has exonerated chief minister Narendra Modi from the charges of engineering the 2002 anti-Muslims riots in the state and concluded that they were `` a spontaneous reaction'' to the killing of 59 Ram Sevaks in Godhra on February 27, 2002. The SIT said there was no link between different incidents of violence in the Godhra carnage aftermath, ruling out the possibility of a larger conspiracy behind the communal violence across the state's 18 districts in its final report submitted to a metropolitan court on Wednesday.
