Ex-IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt was Thursday sentenced to 20-year jail in 1996 drug planting case, while he had been handed life imprisonment in 2019 in custodial death case.
Bhatt was held guilty of falsely implicating a Rajasthan-based lawyer by claiming, in 1996, that police had seized drugs from a hotel room in Palanpur where the lawyer was staying.
In 2019, sessions court convicted ex IPS officer Bhatt and constable Pravinsinh Zala in 1990 custodial torture and murder case of a person who had been arrested following communal violence.
Bhatt has filed an application for recusal of Justice M.R. Shah from hearing his petition to examine a witness in the appeal against his conviction in 1990 custodial torture case.
Ahmedabad police’s crime branch arrested Bhatt based on a case filed on 24 June after the Supreme Court gave a clean chit to then Gujarat CM Narendra Modi in 2002 riots case.
Disenfranchisement by institutional fiat is profoundly undemocratic. The effect of the ECI's new documentary process in Bihar will tilt the scales in favour of the BJP.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
