Babubhai Patel, known by his alias Babu Bajrangi,〔 〕 is a leader of the Gujarat-wing of the Bajrang Dal, a Hindu nationalist organization in India. He was a central figure in the organized pogroms directed at Muslims during the 2002 Gujarat violence.〔 〕 He was sentenced to life term imprisonment by a special court for his role in the Naroda Patiya massacre in which ninety-seven Indian Muslims were murdered.〔 == Role in 2002 riots == In 2007, the Indian journal ''Tehelka'' published a hidden-camera interview with Bajrangi, in which Bajrangi speaks candidly of his role in the organized pogrom of Indian Muslims in the Naroda Patiya massacre, a particularly intense episode of brutality during the 2002 Gujarat riots:〔 〕 In the video, Bajrangi claimed that after the killings, he called the home minister Gordhan Zadaphia and the VHP General Secretary Jaideep Patel, and told them about the killings. After a few hours, an FIR was lodged against him, and the police commissioner issued orders to shoot him at sight.〔 He was later arrested, and released on bail. He was out on bail at the time of the Tehelka interview. He also claimed Narendra Modi tried to subvert the judicial process. In 2012, he was convicted in the Naroda Patiya massacre case along with Maya Kodnani and thirty other accused. All thirty-two of the accused were found guilty of "murder, attempt to murder, conspiracy, spreading enmity and communal hatred and unlawful assembly".〔 〕〔 〕 On 31 August 2012, Bajrangi was sentenced to life imprisonment.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Babu Bajrangi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
