The Truth: Gujarat 2002[1] was an extensive report on the 2002 Gujarat violence published by the Tehelka magazine in its November 7, 2007 issue. The report, which was based on a six-month long investigation and involved sting operations, claimed that the violence was possible because of the connivance of the state police as well as the Chief Minister of Gujarat Narendra Modi.
The sting operation has led to partisan criticism and raised questions on journalistic ethics.[2]
