The special investigation team (SIT) probing some of the post-Godhra riot cases today recorded statement of IPS officer Sanjeev Bhatt in connection with the Gulberg society case.
The special investigation team (SIT) probing some of the post-Godhra riot cases today recorded statement of IPS officer Sanjeev Bhatt in connection with the Gulberg society case.
Bhatt 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 (Gulberg 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 is likely to continue tomorrow.
The Supreme Court recently asked SIT to consider whether further probe was required against chief minister Narendra Modi and 62 others in connection with the complaint filed by Zakia Jaffery, widow of former Congress MP Ehsan Jaffery, who was among the 69 people killed in Gulberg society during the post-Godhra riots.
