            Gandhinagar: The special 
            investigation team probing some of the post-Godhra riot cases today 
            recorded the statement of IPS officer Sanjeev Bhatt in connection 
            with the Gulburg society case. 
             
            He was questioned for over five hours by the SIT investigating 
            officer Himanshu Shukla at the agency's office in Block 11 at old 
            Secretariat campus. 
             
            "Bhatt was being questioned as he was posted as DCP at the State 
            Intelligence Bureau (SIB) during the 2002 riots," SIT officials 
            said. 
             
            Bhatt, a 1988 batch IPS officer, is presently posted as the 
            principal of the State Reserve Police (SRP) Training Centre in 
            Junagadh district. 
             
            "My statement was recorded in regard to the FIR 67/02 of 
            Meghaninagar Police Station (Gulburg society)," Bhatt said.
            
               
            
              
            
            He, however, declined to divulge 
            further details. 
             
            Sources in the SIT said that recording of the statement of the IPS 
            officer is not yet completed and was likely to continue tomorrow.
