SIT played with evidence, Bhatt tells NCM

May 31, 2012

ModiAhmedabad, May 31: In an additional affidavit filed before the National Commission for Minorities (NCM) on Tuesday, suspended DIG Sanjiv Bhatt has asked the rights panel to initiate action against the Special Investigation Team (SIT) headed by R K Raghvan for incorrectly recording his statements or tweaking them to give a clean chit to Chief Minister Narendra Modi.

Bhatt stated in the affidavit that the SIT’s acts amounted to an offence under Section 218 (public servant framing incorrect record or writing with intent to save person from punishment or property from forfeiture) and 219 (public servant in judicial proceeding corruptly making report, etc., contrary to law) of the Indian Penal Code.

“It is now apparent from the report submitted by SIT that certain very crucial portions of my statement, including the timings of extremely consequential meetings with the Chief Minister Narendra Modi on February 27 and February 28, 2002, have either been incorrectly recorded or deliberately tweaked by the SIT, possibly with the ulterior motive and intent of shielding certain powerful persons including the Chief Minister from legal punishment,” the affidavit says.

Bhatt’s affidavit adds that he has written to multiple agencies alleging that certain important documents had been destroyed “selectively” by the state government.

Bhatt claims in the affidavit that after the Supreme Court’s amicus curiae Raju Ramchandran visited him, the state government wrote a confidential letter to the SIT chairman.

“I have also received a copy of a letter (marked confidential) dated June 22, 2011 from the under secretary, home department, to the SIT chairman. In the said letter, the Government of Gujarat has stated it has ‘retrieved’ several emails of Shri Sanjiv Bhatt (I am not commenting on the legality of such ‘retrieval’),” Bhatt quotes Ramchandran’s report as saying.

New Delhi, Jan 31: Slamming the BJP over the Jamia firing incident, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Friday said such incidents were possible with the ruling party's leaders inciting people to shoot, and asked Prime minister Narendra Modi to answer whether he stands with violence or non-violence.   

Her attack on the government comes a day after tensions in the Jamia area spiralled on Thursday after a man fired a pistol at a group of anti-CAA protesters, injuring a student, before walking away while waving the firearm above his head and shouting "Yeh lo aazadi" amid heavy police presence in the area.

"When the BJP government ministers and party leaders incite people to shoot, give provocative speeches, then all this becomes possible. The Prime Minister should answer what kind of a Delhi he wants to build?" Priyanka Gandhi said in a tweet in Hindi.

Does the PM stand with violence or non-violence, she asked.

"Does he stand with development or with anarchy?" the Congress general secretary said.
