In 2007, a private news channel had broadcast a sting operation related to the 2002 Gujarat riots in which many of the people were shown making claims about their roles in the riots. One of them was Bajrangi, who belongs to the Kadva Patidar sub-caste group of the Patidar community. In fact, the prosecution had relied on this sting operation and claims made by Bajrangi in it as his admission of the alleged act.
