The film is based on the real-life incident when 59 Hindu pilgrims, who were returning from Ayodhya died in a fire inside the Sabarmati Express near the Godhra railway station in Gujarat.

As the video starts and Vikrant's character starts speaking, someone asks if the English reporter is available but as he isn't, Samar continues breaking the news saying the incident was not an accident. However, he doesn't reveal anything else but the gripping video gives an idea that he knew that it was an attack on the pilgrims.

Take a look at the video below:

The Sabarmati Report also stars Raashi Khanna as a fellow reporter to Vikrant's Samar and Ridhi Dogra as a senior anchor. As the trio struggles to gather the evidence to prove their claims about the attack, they face the scrutiny of their bosses.
