This was proven not true many years ago by the Supreme Court well before he was in power. Just rage bait.

The investigation couldn’t anything against the autogratic guy who said the following about the incident.

- When asked if he

yes because he felt they did everything they could to prevent islamists fanning the flames, next?

It's not rage bait, lol, this was a very famous incident, led to him being banned from the US, and he went on an extremely inflammatory "yatra" around mostly Northern India (where Hindutva has sway) further inflaming tensions right after the incident, which is shown very well in the documentary "Final Solution" (which was also banned in India)

yes and it was overturned when they realised it was faked by the opposition

What are you talking about? It wasn't "faked" that Modi, one of the icons of Hindutva, was likely complacent or negligent or connected to the Hindutva MLAs and MPs who were on handing out swords to a Hindutva-influenced mob...

Even if he truly was never involved, it's not a hit job or a con or a conspiracy to frame him, his political party members were involved personally and he promoted rhetoric very close to theirs. Any normal person would connect the two
