2002 Gujarat riots — Modi accused of complicity; >1000 dead
Supreme Court SIT cleared in 2012; reaffirmed 2022
Deep research · Exaupdated 9 days ago
Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India since 2014 and former Chief Minister of Gujarat (2001–2014), has faced significant criticism and allegations throughout his career, though he has not been convicted of any crimes. The most prominent controversy involves the 2002 Gujarat riots, where over 1,000 people, primarily Muslims, were killed. Critics alleged state complicity or failure to act; however, a Supreme Court-appointed Special Investigation Team found no prosecutable evidence against Modi, a conclusion the Supreme Court upheld in 2022. Other controversies include the 2016 demonetisation drive, which caused widespread economic disruption, and the 2018 electoral bonds scheme, which the Supreme Court repealed in 2024 for lack of transparency. Critics have also raised concerns regarding democratic backsliding, the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, and alleged misuse of investigative agencies. Discrepancies regarding his academic credentials have been alleged, which Modi has denied. There have been no formal indictments or convictions against him.
