PIL filed against report on Muzaffarnagar riots
A PIL challenging the Muzaffarnagar riots report, which gave the Uttar Pradesh government a clean chit, has been filed in the Allahabad High Court. The Justice Vishnu Sahai Commission report has blamed the "negligence" of the local administration, "failure" of intelligence agencies and exaggerated media reporting for the 2013 riots, which left at least 62 dead and displaced over 50,000.
