BBC released a documentary on Modi a while ago which describes him as being a culprit in the Godhra train burning (Godhra Kand). The case caused the deaths of several people and the BBC collected the on-ground reports on basis of which the firm accused PM Modi. Godhra Kand led to various riots by rebellions, BBC reported in their documentary that PM Modi never tried to stop the riots. The rebellion caused the death of 2,000 people (mostly Muslims) and Narendra Modi was the Chief Minister of Gujrat at that time.
Modi has been horrifically accused of being involved in the menace since Godhra Kand 2002. BBC recently released a documentary that accused Modi of being directly responsible for not stopping the riot that caused the genocide. However, the series was banned in India and the government also completely banned any clips and links related to the documentary.
People shared memes on social media platforms after BBC got thrashed by the raid:
