Here are some such media reports-

http://www.thehindu.com/thehindu/mp/2002/05/30/stories/2002053000180200.htm (from the newspaper 'The Hindu', adored by left-liberals, and certainly with no bias in favour of India's Hindu majority, in spite of its name!)

It may also be noted that much of the coverage of the Gujarat riots in the international media was drawn from the Indian coverage, which did mention in detail the Muslim suffering during the riots.


Human Rights Watch, based on its field studies, has also acknowledged that innocent Hindus too did suffer during the Gujarat riots in 2002, as you can see here - http://www.hrw.org/en/news/2002/04/29/india-gujarat-officials-took-part-anti-muslim-violence.
