Ahmedabad: As a local court upheld the closure of the Special Investigation Team (SIT) report probing the 2002 communal riots in Gujarat, state Chief Minister Narendra Modi said it represented the "triumph of truth"."Truth alone

That report had given a clean chit to Modi and 58 others in the communal violence.
