<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Two years after the Godhra carnage, the Gujarat police still do not know who the brains behind the plan to set the Sabarmati Express alight were.

If you read the seven chargesheets filed so far by the police, you can understand how the incident took place. But why did it happen? Who planned it? Where? Answers to these questions are still being sought.

Rakesh Asthana, special inspector general of police (Baroda range) and head of the team investigating the incident, told rediff.com, "We have international inputs provided by IB [the Intelligence Bureau] and RAW [the Research and Analysis Wing]. We have many telephone intercepts and strong indications suggesting the involvement of people across the border. But we don't yet have substantial evidence to prove our charge in court."

<b>Asthana, who spent 10 years with the Central Bureau of Investigation and was also involved in the investigation of Bihar's fodder scandal, said of Godhra, "It was a very interesting and complicated case. We have been able to prove beyond doubt the local conspiracy charge. I am 100 percent�sure that the accused will be convicted."</b><!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
