Ex-IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt’s wife says no news of him since he was picked up on Sept 5

The Gujarat Police on September 5 detained former IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt in Ahemdabad for questioning in a case relating to falsely framing a lawyer in a criminal case in 1998. Sanjiv’s wife Shweta Bhatt on September 15 has said that she had not heard from him after the police had picked up Bhatt .

“There is nothing for me to write today. I have no updates at all, I don’t know as to how is Sanjiv, I have not seen him or heard from him in the past 12 days. Today is the 12th day,” tweeted Shweta Sanjiv Bhatt.

Shweta has also tweeted a video saying “ I support Sanjiv Bhatt and my voice shall not be silenced.”

When Bhatt was serving as the Superintendent of Police in Banaskantha, in North Gujarat, he was accused of trying to frame a lawyer in a fake case under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.

Bhatt was dismissed from the Indian Police Services (IPS) in 2015 for taking on the then Chief Minister Narendra Modi's administration for the 2002 Gujarat riots.

In 2011, Bhatt had filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court accusing Modi of being complicit in the 2002 riots.
