Complete lies!
I am Gujarati and I know what happened! Actually that is the reason why riots happened.
Godhra is Muslim majority village where 59 Hindus were burnt alive because they went to visit their holy place 'Rama Janmabhoomi' which is where Babri was situated. And they went for pilgrim soon after Babri demolition and religious sentiments were all time high at that time!
And NO RAPING took place! Out of 1500 total deaths in the state. Most of them were due to clashes between two groups and some stabbings.
