The Gujarat High Court has rejected a plea filed by former IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt seeking a review of its direction to the CID to probe a 1996 case of alleged drug planting in which he was arrested. Justice J B Pardiwala rejected the jailed former officer's petition last week.
Sanjiv Bhatt, who was in June awarded life sentence in a custodial death case, is currently lodged at the Palanpur district jail. Hardik Patel, the Patidar quota agitation spearhead who joined the Congress earlier this year ahead of the Lok Sabha polls, was detained as soon as he and other party leaders entered Palanpur to go to the jail to meet Bhatt.
Bhatt was the Banaskantha district superintendent of police in 1996. He was dismissed from the service in 2015.
