The government of Gujarat released 11 prisoners convicted of raping a Muslim woman and murdering her relatives.

Gujarat is a center of powerful hatred against Muslims. In 2002, Hindi extremists with support from the Gujarat government carried out major pogrom against Muslims there, with support from Modi himself.

These rapes and murders were part of that pogrom. One must suspect that the release of these prisoners represents the Hindu extremists' endorsement of support for pogroms against Muslims.
