| The Gujarat riots in 2002 saw the worst communal violence in recent history where over 1000 people were killed.
For more than four years, those working for justice for the people killed in the riots have been decoding more than four million phone calls to prove the police-administration-politician nexus.
The analysis of the cell phone records between February 27, 2002 and February 28, 2002 was presented to the Nanavati Commission on Friday.
NDTV has exclusive access to the disturbing evidence.
The Muslim dominated colonies - Gulbarg Society and Naroda Patiya - were among the worst affected areas in Ahmedabad. Within five hours, more than 130 people were burnt alive and killed.
Mukul Sinha, a lawyer with Jan Sangharsh Manch - a rights group - now believes he can establish without doubt what he calls culpable negligence and the links between the perpetrators of violence, the administration and the political establishment.
''We have managed to co-relate the phone calls and numbers which were given in a CD by Rahul Sharma to the Nanavati Commission. On basis of these calls we have analysed the role of top police officers in a particular area, Zone 4 and 5 and Jt Com, Sec 2 covering the Naroda and Meghaninagar areas,'' Sinha said.
''These phone calls lead to some sort of a pattern. Our findings given to the Commission show that police officers left the places during crucial time with their strike force. The calls show these officers moved away.
''So what these officers told the Commission earlier that they were overpowered by the mob is wrong as these calls are telling us a story that they moved away. In fact whenever the police officers move it is preceded or followed by calls from a politician or even the Home Minister,'' he said.
Police apathy
There were few key individuals in the nexus of phone calls made before, during and after attacks at Naroda-Patiya and Gulbarg society.
