New Delhi: The Supreme
Court Friday issued notice to the Gujarat government on a petition
by suspended police officer Sanjiv Bhatt seeking that the probe
into an email hacking case against him be transferred to the
Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
An apex court bench headed by Justice Aftab Alam issued the notice
after Bhatt's counsel I.M. Syed told the court that it had already
issued notice to the state government on a petition seeking
transfer of the investigation following a first information report
(FIR) against him by his official driver.
Additional Advocate General of the Gujarat government Tushar Mehta
has filed an FIR against the Indian Police Service officer,
accusing him of hacking his email account.
Bhatt said the email hacking complaint was filed by Mehta at the
behest of Chief Minister Narendra Modi to falsely implicate,
pressurise and intimidate him and other witnesses in the 2002
Gujarat riots.
A special court in Ahmedabad Oct 17 granted bail to the police
officer who accused Modi of complicity in the communal riots.
Bhatt was arrested Sep 30 for allegedly forcing a police
constable, K.D. Panth, to sign a false affidavit about his
attending a meeting called by the chief minister soon after the
Godhra train burning that sparked the riots.
