In another emotional post, Shweta Sanjiv Bhatt has accused the Gujarat government of reopening the 30-year-old case against Sanjiv Bhatt with malicious intent.

Jamnagar Sessions Court in June this year had sentenced former Gujarat-cadre IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt to life imprisonment in a 1990 custodial death case. This sentence has been challenged by Sanjiv Bhatt in Gujarat High Court.

Shweta in the Facebook post points out that both the cases against Sanjiv were investigated and stayed by the Supreme Court. “It saddens me to see how two nearly 30-year-old cases, both of which were duly investigated and stayed by the Supreme Court of India were nefariously re-opened by misleading the court with only one malicious intent – to subdue and silence the voice and spirit of Sanjiv Bhatt,” reads the post from Shweta on Sanjiv’s Facebook timeline.
