Washington April 30. Government officials in Gujarat were directly involved in the killings of hundreds of Muslims since February 27 and are now in the process of engineering a massive cover-up, Human Rights Watch has said in a new report.

"What happened in Gujarat was not a spontaneous uprising; it was a carefully orchestrated attack against Muslims,'' the author of the 75 Page report, Smita Narula, has said. "The attacks were planned in advance and organised with extensive participation of the police and State Government officials," the report has argued.
