The Supreme Court on Monday issued notices to the Gujarat government, its home department and the Dahod district superintendent of police on a petition filed by a woman who was allegedly raped during the post-Godhra riots in the state.

The woman has charged that the police abruptly shut the case.

A bench comprising Justice S Rajendra Babu and Justice G P Mathur issued the notices.

The victim alleged that the police filed a closure report before the Limkheda magistrate on technical ground of her
statements being contradictory.
