My Stay In Prison Was Like A Sabbatical : Bhatt

Ahmedabad, Oct 17: Suspended Gujarat IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt, arrested for allegedly fabricating evidence to implicate Narendra Modi in the Gujarat riots and released on bail today, described his stay in the prison as “sabbatical” and said the rule of law has prevailed.

“I am happy that the rule of law has prevailed. It is a victory for the victims of the state sponsored riots...My stay in jail was like a sabbatical...I am still resolute for my cause...The cause is much bigger than me,” he said outside Sabarmati central jail after his release.

On alleged police misbehaviour with him while being taken from police lock-up to city crime branch lock-up on September 30 after his arrest, Bhatt said, “I will not speak about it, (till) the right time comes before the appropriate forum.”
