Suspended IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt failed to get immediate relief on Monday when a local court in Ahmedabad deferred the hearing on his bail plea for Tuesday. District judge VK Vyas issued notice to the state government and the state police chief in the bail application filed by the IPS officer.
Sanjiv Bhatt has been at loggerheads with the state government over his stance on the Gujarat riots which run contrary to the government claim. He has also dragged Chief Minister Narendra Modi within the shadows of questionable and outright guilty conduct.
The officer had also filed an affidavit before the Supreme Court on the issue. The state government took action on a FIR lodged by one Karan Singh Panth (46), a constable working with Meghaninagar police station in Ahmedababd. In the FIR Pant alleged that Bhatt threatened him and forced him to sign a false affidavit regarding a meeting called by the Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi on 27 February 2002.
Bhatt is currently lodged at Sabarmati central jail in judicial custody. IH Syed appeared for Sanjiv Bhatt while public prosecutor Pravin Trivedi appeared for the state.
