I, Rahul Sharma, I. P. S., D.C.P. Control room, Shahibaug, Office of Police Commissioner, Ahmedabad, do hereby declare my following fact on oath: That I am an officer of IPS Batch, 1992 and I have been allotted in the Gujarat cadre. I have performed my duties at difference places in Gujarat. I was performing my duties as District Superintendent of Police, Bhavnagar District for the period from dated 16.2.2002 to 26.3.2002 in Bhavnagar District. Total 23 police stations were situated in my area as District Superintendent of Police, Bhavnagar District, the list of those police stations is kept herewith vide Statement-A. 3 On dated 27.2.2002, I was on casual leave at Vadodara, at that time, in the noon, I was came to know about incident took place in train at Godhra. While I was preparing to come at Bhavnagar, at that time Special I. G. P. of Junagadh Range instructed me that, pursuant to the incident took place at Godhra on 27.2.2002, the call of "Gujarat Bandh" has been given by Vishwa Hindu Parishad on dated 28.2.2002, so you immediately resume duty, therefore, I immediately left to resume duty and left from Vadodara on 27.2.2002 at 17.30 P.M. and came at office of District Superintendent of Police, Bhavnagar at 21.45 P.M. and called meeting of Police Officers, Bhavnagar during period from 22.00 P.M. to 24.00 P.M. and from hours 00.00 A.M. to 2.00 A.M. on 28.2.2002 and given necessary instruction to them, and for the call of Gujarat Bandh given on 28.2.2002, I had given them necessary guidance to all officers regarding making systematic and proper distribution of bundobast. I made discussion with officers outside city i.e. Dy. S.Ps. of Mahuva Division, Botad Division, and Palitana Division through phone as to what arrangement regarding bundobast pursuant to call of Gujarat Bandh is made? How many persons in bundobast are allotted? Whether they require more persons or not? etc. wherein S. D. P. O. of Palitana demanded that as rally is to come out pursuant to call of "Gujarat Bandh" today at Palitana, therefore horse rider policemen are required, therefore, I informed in LIB Branch and asked them to make an arrangement and necessary arrangement was made as per my instructions. The wireless message which I sent to give additional police force, from outside except bundobast of local police at each place of the District, that message is enclosed herewith by 'Statement-B'. In the District, except Bhavnagar city, Mahuva, Shihor, Palitana were treated as sensitive centers and the detail of total bundobast on all sensitive places is enclosed herewith in Statement-B(1). And pursuant to call of "Gujarat Bandh" on dated 28.2.2002, I remained present in stand-to position at my office from hours 2.00 A.M. and I was supervising bundobast of District and city, through wireless set. During that, at late night at about 23.00 P.M. I came to know that, there is fire in the shop of a Muslim situated near Ghogha gate chowky, therefore I called officer of F. S. L. etc. there and stated to make an investigation/endeavour regarding that and visited place and on knowing fact by going there, I found that there is fire at shop named Good luck Electronics of Salim Ali Mohammed Lakhani, aged 40 years, Residing at Shishuvihar in undesirable manner, regarding that, I personally explained Police Inspector, C Division to make an investigation.

Date: 1.3.2002 4 On dt. 1.3.2002, due to call of "Bharat Bandh" today, I remained present at my office in stand-to bundobast and I was in contact of City and District on wireless set, during that as in the newspaper "Sandesh" of today the news which can instigate the people are published (Statement-C), and as I made talk with Shri Rajesh Joshi, Resident Editor (Editor) of Sandesh at Bhavnagar today, not to publish such news in daily newspaper by telephone, he stated that, "what is written is proper. Even I wanted to write more, but now if you are saying then I will not write so, hereafter." As he stated so, I kept an entry to inform superior officer regarding this. Thereafter I was present at my office and pursuant to call of "Bharat Bandh" I was keeping an eye on bundobast arranged through the wireless set. On this day, I was aware of the fact that a rally of "Sadhu Samaj" was to come out at Bhavnagar, and they were to give representation to the Collector, Bhavnagar. During this, I came to know from Control room at 17.10 P.M. that rally has been taken out by "Sadhu Samaj" in oppose of Godhra massacre took place at Godhra, and after giving representation to the Collector, Bhavnagar, this rally was dispersed. During that period at 18.00 O'clock on set, I came to know that in some areas of Bhavnagar city, mobs are gathered. Immediately, I left from my office with my striking force (the statement of which is enclosed herewith in Annexure by Statement-D) and as the mobs were gathering in Navapara, I remained there in the work of dispersing the mob and after dispersing mob from there, I came at Ghogha ghat. So mob was gathered there and I dispersed this mob through striking force with me. I was present there in this action, during that on wireless set, I received an information that the goods in the shop at corner of Lokhand Bazar, Kanbiwad, has been set on fire.
