The All India Bar Association (AIBA) on Sunday wrote to Union Home minister Amit Shah seeking a 360-degree probe into the "international conspiracy angle" in the BBC documentary India: The Modi Question.
The government had on Friday directed social media platforms Twitter and YouTube to block links to the documentary titled India: The Modi Question. The Ministry of External Affairs has trashed the documentary as a "propaganda piece" that lacks objectivity and reflects a colonial mindset.
Opposition parties have opposed the move and claimed the documentary has "exposed" Modi.
A Supreme Court-appointed investigation had found no evidence of wrongdoing by PM Modi, who was chief minister of Gujarat when the riots broke out in February 2002.
