New Delhi: The family of suspended IPS officer Sanjeev Bhatt has alleged that it is under threat. The wife of the cop has also written a letter to the District Magistrate and Police Commissioner.
Bhatt's wife has further said that the lawyer of the 1988 batch officer is not being allowed to meet him. Bhatt, who had accused Chief Minister Narendra Modi of abetting the 2002 riots, was arrested on Friday. He has been charged with forgery and conspiracy.
The arrest came after one of his juniors, K D Pant, alleged that Bhatt had forced him to file a false affidavit against Modi. The affidavit had said that Bhatt was present at the February 27, 2002 meeting at which Modi had allegedly told the police to go slow on the rioters.
Search operations were also conducted by the police at the residence of the suspended officer. Bhatt, however, refused to comment on the arrest saying, "I cannot say anything right now as I am in police custody. It is not the right time. If I want I can say lot of things but would not like to comment. It is now for media to decide what is right and what is wrong."
