In the book "Gujarat Files - Anatomy of a Cover Up" for journalist Rana Ayyub's sting operation on the Gujarat riots, claimed that many officials had accepted political pressure during the 2002 riots.

This book was launched on Friday in New Delhi. Ayyub said that she had also recorded a statement of Modi on a bungalow located in Gandhinagar. This statement was recorded by putting the camera in the clock.

Rana Ayyub said that Amit Shah was a shared link in all sting operations. He was the Home Minister of Gujarat at that time and is now the BJP President. Amit Shah had to go to jail even in the Sohrabuddin encounter case. He was acquitted by the CBI court in 2014.

Rana Ayyub alleges that Tehelka sent her for this assignment. But later referring to the political pressure refusing to print the story.

She claims that she had sting operation of Ashok Narayan, GL Singhal, PC Pandey, GC Raeghar, Rajan Priyadarshi and YA Sheikh. She introduced herself as America's filmmaker and named Maithili Tyagi.

Ayyub claimed that she had asked Ashok Narayan, then Chief Secretary (Home), "You were angry when CM asked you to show slackness in controlling the riots."

On this, Narayan allegedly said, "He will never do that. He does not write anything on paper. He has his own man and through him he goes to VHP and then down to the police officers."

Ayyub asked then chief of CID (Intelligence) G. Raeghar, "What happened in the encounter. You were there.''
She told that the reply of Raighar was, "I was only in one. A criminal (Sohrabuddin) was killed in fake encounter. It was a mistake that they killed his wife too."

In the book, there is also a chapter on Haren Pandya Murder case. The allegations of investigation officer YA Sheikh were also given in place.

Journalists Harotosh Singh Bal and Rajdeep Sardesai and lawyer Indira Jaisingh were present in the book launch program.

Sardesai said that in relation to the Gujarat riots, once he was talking to a senior judge, he said, "This is a Muslim, who will not change it. This was to be with that."
