Editorial  : Judge's Collusion  with  Bellary  Mining  Mafia ?

     

     In spite of investigation and  reports  by CBI  & Karnataka  Lokayukta  , no clear conviction of karnataka government officials  involved in Bellary Mining scandal  has been taken. Supreme Court of  India is also silent since years despite  appeals for justice in this matter. The corrupt  officials are continuing  in government  service and few of them even got promotions , plum postings for their yeoman ( ? ) service.

 SCI judges have ample time to play golf , tour abroad , take  millions of salary all at tax payer's  expense. Judges have ample time to decide cases relating to movies , sports but not for  cases of national importance.

This attitude of Judge's  and  SCI  points towards complicity of judiciary  in “ Bellary Mining Case cover up".

 

A shame on  SCI Judges.  If at all SCI  Judges are  sincere enough,  let them take appropriate  action  as they do against commoners. Judges & Police exhibit their full force against commoners , roar on them but before mining barons just whimper.

 

Your's Sincerely

....Respondents





PETITION UNDER ARTICLE 12 to ARTICLE 35 & ARTICLE 51A OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA FOR ISSUANCE OF A WRIT IN THE NATURE OF

MANDAMUS UNDER ARTICLE 32 & ARTICLE 226 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA.





To ,



Hon'ble The Chief Justice of India and His Lordship's Companion

Justices of the Supreme Court of India. The Humble petition of the Petitioner above named.





MOST RESPECTFULLY SHOWETH :



1. Facts of the case:

Our  whole hearted respects  to honest few in judiciary , parliament & public service. Our salutes to them , due to  honest efforts of those few  noble persons only at least democracy is surviving in India.

A .  "Power will go to the hands of rascals, , rogues and freebooters. All Indian leaders will be of low calibre and men of straw. They will have sweet tongues and silly hearts. They will fight among themselves for power and will be lost in political squabbles . A day would come when even air & water will be taxed." Sir Winston made this statement in the House of Commons just before the independence of India & Pakistan. Sadly , the forewarning of Late Winston Churchill has been proved right by some of our criminal , corrupt people’s representatives , police , public servants & Judges. Some of the below mentioned judges fall among the category of churchill’s men – Rogues , Rascals & Freebooters.

B . Loot of natural resources in Karnataka state  and  illegal aid  to  those criminals by government officials. Read  Karnataka Lokayukta Mining scam report .



2. Question(s) of Law:

Are  forest officials , police & revenue officials who aided  bellary mining loot ,  above Law & can go scot free ? 



3. Grounds:

Requests for equitable justice , legal prosecution & punishment of guilty police , revenue , forest officials. 


4. Averment:

GIVE WHAT ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN AGAINST THE GUILTY  GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS  MENTIONED  IN THE KARNATAKA LOKAYUKTA REPORT  submitted by Justice Santosh Hegde &  Shri.U.V.Singh ABOUT BELLARY MINING SCAM. IF NOT WHY ?  REASONS THEROF.

How many guilty government officials mentioned in the above report  got promotions , continuing in service making it easy for them to tamper evidences ?

What action against  public servants , officials who are hushing up the case & protecting the guilty ?

The Petitioner has sent many letters / appeals / petitions to supreme court of india & other courts through e-mail , DARPG website & through regular mail requesting them to consider those as PILs. But none of them were admitted , even acknowledgement for receipts were not given. See How duty conscious ,our judges are & see how our judges are sensitive towards life , liberty of citizens , commonmen & see how careless our judges are towards anti national crimes , crimes worth crores of rupees.



That the present petitioner has not filed any other petition (which are admitted by courts) in any High Court or the Supreme Court of India on the subject matter of the present petition.



PRAYER:



In the above premises, it is prayed that this Hon'ble Court may be pleased:

(i) Hereby , I do request the honorable supreme court of India to consider this as a PIL for : “writ of Mandamus” and to issue instructions to the concerned public servants in the following cases to perform their duties & to answer the questions.

(ii) Hereby , I do request  the honourble supreme court of india to  legally prosecute  guilty officials  mentioned in the above said report.

(iii) Hereby , I do request  the honourble supreme court of india  to uphold the constitution of india  , to protect natural resources and to protect the constitutional rights of all Indian citizens including mine.


(iv) Hereby , I do request  the honourble supreme court of india  to  immediately keep all government officials mentioned in the above said report under suspension from service & to take necessary steps to protect all type of evidences.


(v) to pass such other orders and further orders as may be deemed necessary on the facts and in the circumstances of the case.



FOR WHICH ACT OF KINDNESS, THE PETITIONER SHALL BE DUTY BOUND, EVER PRAY.

Crimes @ RBI

 

Dalit-Online 

Weekly e news paper 

Editor: Nagaraja.M.R.. Vol.17....Issue. 03................17/01/2021

 

RTI  APPLICATION  TO CPIO  RESERVE  BANK OF INDIA  MUMBAI

 

Refer RTI APPLICATION No:

 

 RBIND/R/E/20/04870

 

 

HEREBY , I DO HUMBLY REQUEST YOU TO GIVE ME WRITTEN STATEMENTS / 

ANSWERS TO THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS - WHICH IN ITSELF ( ie answers ) 

ARE THE INFORMATION SOUGHT BY ME. 

WITH RESPECT TO CASE NO  old CC34 / 1989 & NEW NO SC436/1991   AT 21 

ST ADDITIONAL CITY CIVIL & SESSIONS COURT BANGALORE

CHARGE SHEETED OFFICER MR.G.HARIRAM RBI BANGALORE

CHARGE SHEET NO staff no.3698/156/84-85 dt 01.01.1985

Amended charge sheet  staff no.3798/156-84/85 dt 08.04.1985

 

 

1. Why didn't you notice the alleged crimes of 1977 , 78 & 79 till the 

mid of  1979 ?

2. This crime came to light only due to anonymous phone calls of good 

Samaritans to authorities , but not due to your inspection . is your 

inspection division working properly ?

3. why there is no security check up of officers during entry & exit 

out of premises ?

4. why there is no individual weighment , individual statement of 

value of bags of reissuable notes & bags of note meant for destruction 

, after sorting is done, why they are not tallied with total weight , 

value of notes issued for sorting ?

5. Immediately after noticing the crime, why did not you transfer all 

the employees of those sections ?

6. why did not you take steps to preserve3 & protect respective 

documents relating to such high profile crime ?

7. why didn't you immediately issue charge sheet to all the accussed & 

waited till 1983 ?

8. Why RBI has left out , so many officers ( who worked in the same 

sections for more period than accused officers ) from domestic 

enquiry ?

9. why CBI also failed to put those people in the charge sheet before 

the court ?

10. is it because they were in favorable terms with the vested 

interests ?

11. did the CBI dance to the tune of vested interests in RBI while 

preparing charge sheet & during investigation , instead  of 

independent investigation ?

12. those left out probables from the charge sheet might have caused 

the destruction of evidences / records. During the course of domestic 

enquiry / court proceedings , it has been recorded that some records 

have been destroyed. Are not CBI & RBI responsible for destruction of 

evidences , aiding true criminals get away ?

13. in normal times , what is the period specified in RBI regulations 

for preserving old documents / records ?

14. after noticing such a high profile crime the RBI must have taken 

utmost care to preserve such old records for indefinite time , for 

producing before courts of law as & when demanded. But it  didn't , 

why ?

15. does not this point to connivance of higher authorities of RBI , 

with the criminals ?

16. RBI authorities have conducted domestic mass enquiries , instead 

of individual enquiries , is it not detrimental to the rights of 

defense ?

17. RBI authorities have stated  that court proceedings & domestic 

enquiry are independent of each other & are not binding on one 

another. However  RBI authorities straight away took on record of 

domestic enquiry the court statements , evidences , but didn't honour 

the order of same court of law ? why this double standard by RBI ?

18. The alleged crime  was committed in 1977-79, but charge sheet was 

framed in mid 1985 , why this long delay ?

19. didn't this facilitate the masterminds of crime to destroy , 

manipulate evidences ?

20. as stated before court , indeed some records , 22nd currency note 

packet were missing , who is responsible for it ?

21. has the CBI conducted enquiry , polygraph test of RBI higher 

officers - S.N.RAZDAN , W.S.SARAF , J.P.AWASTHI , J.MITRA & others , 

if not why ?

22. is it not due to inefficiency , negligence of duty by such high 

ranking managers , that such a crime occurred in RBI Bangalore ?

23. what disciplinary action RBI has taken against the inefficient , 

negligent higher officials ?

24. whatever internal rules an organization makes must be within the 

line of law. If such internal laws of the organization are violative 

of law , fundamental rights of employees , such internal rules become 

illegal. Are not the way of RBI disciplinary proceedings illegal ?

25. as per RBI pension regulations 1990 , RBI has the right to deduct 

any loss caused to the bank , from the pension of RBI employee if the 

misconduct of employee is proved in judicial proceedings . even though 

mr.G.Hariram came out clean from the court , why  RBI has denied his 

pension ?

26. judicial courts of law are appellate authorities over & above , 

domestic enquiry committees & judicial orders supersedes the domestic 

enquiry proceedings. Still RBI showed contempt of court & didn't 

reinstate mr..G.Hariram into service , why ?

27. even if an employee's misconduct causing loss to the bank is 

proved , before denying him pension (towards making up loss to the 

bank) , previous sanction of the central board of RBI must be taken. 

But in mr.G.Hariram's case , pension was denied in full without taking 

previous sanction of the central board of RBI , is it not illegal ?

28. RBI alleged that mr..G.Hariram caused loss to the tune of Rs.14000 

to the bank & recovered it from his provident fund dues. There was 

nothing left over to recover , still RBI  completely denied pension to 

mr.G.Hariram , why ?

29. ideally, domestic enquiry findings / disciplinary actions should 

be completed first , then the employee can appeal to appropriate court 

of law. In mr.G.Hariram's case , CBI & RBI failed to prove the charges 

in court of law , as a result court discharged him from the charges. 

To cover-up it's failures RBI management dragged domestic enquiry much 

beyond court orders date & gave findings indicting mr..G.Hariram. does 

the enquiry officer of domestic enquiry think that he is over & above 

the court of law ? is it not illegal & contempt of court ?

30. ideally , RBI authorities should have appealed to higher court 

against lower court order discharging mr.G.Hariram from charges. But 

it was not done , why ?

31. did the RBI pay interim relief to mr.G.Hariram , during suspension 

period ?

32. the undue delay in filing charge sheet , consequent destruction of 

key evidences , dishonour / contempt of court orders , undue haste in 

giving findings , dismissal , denial of of pension without central 

board's sanction , all point towards criminals within RBI higher 

management. What disciplinary action has been taken against 

J.P.AWASTHI, S.N.RAZDAN,J.MITRA, W.SARAF & others ? if not why ?

33. why charge sheet was amended? Is it legal ?

34. did the charge sheet was amended to falsely implicate 

mr..G.Hariram , by including cancelled note vault in the charge 

sheet ?

35. does not this itself show that it is not statement of actual 

happenings / facts , but a cunning ploy to mislead investigation 

towards fixed innocents from actual criminals ?

36. is it true that that only 5% of sample inspection is done out of 

bundled verified defective note packets ?

37. is not the conduct of joint / mass enquiries of all charge sheeted 

officers illegal ?

38. how come such an important evidence 22nd note packet went 

missing ?

39. is it because it may point towards real criminals ?

40. as per the statement of management witness / inspection head / 

expert mr.vijendra rao , the notes of earlier dates have been removed 

from packets made into new bundles , right ?

41. as per his statement , entire certificates , seals of some asst 

treasurers are there , who didn't work at all on that day is not it ?

42. does not it show that some body else was misusing the seals , 

putting some innocents seals over the notes ?

43. does it not show that , crime has taken place at verification 

section ?

44. does it not show involvement of some asst treasurers ?

45. why asst treasurers have not been charge sheeted ?

46. why inspection of RBI Bangalore office was not done between 1975 & 

1979 ?

47. is it not true that you failed to produce all records showing 

internal inspection / audits , during domestic enquiry & court 

proceedings ?

48. your expert mr.vijendra rao has stated that some seal marks are 

smudged , he has stated some seal marks appears to be so & so. He has 

clearly nowhere stated that this seal mark is exactly this , so he 

himself is not 100% sure ?

49. your expert nowhere said that 100% sure this seal mark is this , 

on that day this seal was issued to mr.G.Hariram , isn't it ?

50. your expert says during 1975 , he didn't notice3 any fraud. 

However approver says fraud was there before mid 1977 also. Why no 

action has been taken ?

51. why you didn't produce all records of all persons , who have 

specifically worked in alleged sections , the registers of those 

departments with daily activity report containing seal nos , packet 

nos , bag nos , etc ?

52. are not their chances of some criminals putting the seal marks of 

innocent officers over the notes , bundles , bags , etc ?

53. your expert is not 100% sure of seal mark , your records are not 

there to prove the presence of charge sheeted officers in the alleged 

sections , neither your expert nor your records are 100% sure on what 

date , at what stage , by whom crime was committed , isn't it ?

54. is not the charge sheet amounting to higher ups picking up 

officers they dislike & falsely implicating them ?

55. is it not cunning ploy of higher ups to divert attention from 

original criminals ?

56. why no action was taken against currency officer of 1977-79 

mr.J.Mitra ? why his pension , super annuation benefits were not 

withheld ?

57. what is your justification , supporting evidence , records for 

picking up only three officers including mr.G.Hariram for legal 

prosecution and leaving the majority of probables ?

58. why you have dropped charges against five asst treasurers ? why 

you didn't even conduct domestic enquiry against them , let alone 

legal prosecution ?

59. Is it RBI's & CBI's way of fair play & justice ?

60. as inly 5% sampling of verified note bundles are done , there are 

more possibilities of rebundled packets getting unnoticed in relaxed 

95% lot , isn't it ?

61. you have left out so many officers who worked in those sections, 

some of whom even became management witnesses , instead of being 

charge sheeted by the management, is it fair play & legal ?

62. who are the bank employees , from whom you have recovered the 

alleged bank loss of Rs.220000 ?

63. were all of them charge sheeted , enquired , legally prosecuted , 

dismissed & their pension , gratuity withheld ?

64. you don't have any internal statuotary records to prove that 

mr.G.Hariram worked in those departments , except a currency officer's 

office note dated just on the eve of charge sheet years after the 

alleged crime ? does it not prove that this note has been concocted 

just to fix mr.G.Hariram ?

65. where as you have records of other officials attendance in those 

departments , but not charge sheeted them why ?

66. three officers of staff grade A daily work in three sections out 

of 40 officers , why you have picked up only mr.G.Hariram , out of 

1095 working days , he has worked for only 223 days in those 

sections , still those officers who worked for more days in those 

sections are not charge sheeted why ? the approver , the management 

expert witness , shift registers , V2 registers , Destruction 

certificates , Form CD 55 , etc , nobody , no records were able to say 

on what date , at what stage , by whom crime took place , also they 

were unable to say on what date at what stage crime was committed by 

mr.G.Hariram ? is it not futile imagination , cunning ploy of RBI 

higher authorities to fix innocent Mr.G.Hariram ?

67. the management expert witnesses said , the most probable place of 

crime is punching / Cancelled Note Vault , incinerator , where asst 

treasurers were joint custodians . they were not enquired & let off 

why ?

68.        the charge sheet alleges extraction / substitution of 

defaced note packets. Where as the management expert witness say 

substitution of defaced notes only ? is not there difference between 

loss of one number of note & 100 number of notes ?

69.         as per the normal course of duty , staff officers does not 

count notes in each bundles , but they just count the number of 

bundles only. Is not there chances of inserted note bundles or bundles 

containing less number of notes going unnoticed ? is it not the 

failure of statuotary system of work practices ?

70.         does not all these prove higher authorities of RBI & CBI 

were hell bent to fix mr.G.Hariram & to shield the original 

criminals ?

Questions with respect to other cases :

directors of companies which have availed bank loans ?

72.         how do you monitor the work of companies , in which banks

77.         is not collection of loan from debtors of bank through 

rowdies / recovery agents , illegal ?

78.         why not criminal complaints filed against bank mangers for 

aiding , abetting rowdism , murdering people ?

79.         if your method of employing rowdies to collect loans of Rs.

HERE WITH I AM SEEKING NOT THE OPINIONS ABOUT SOME HYPOTHETICAL ISSUES , BUT YOUR OFFICIAL STAND , LEGAL STAND ON ISSUES WHICH ARE OF FREQUENT OCCURRENCE WHICH ARE VIOLATING PEOPLE’S FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS & HUMAN RIGHTS. WE DO HAVE HIGHEST RESPECTS FOR JUDICIARY & ALL PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS , THIS IS AN APPEAL FOR TRUTH , INFORMATION SO THAT TO APPREHEND CORRUPT FEW IN PUBLIC SERVICE, WHO ARE AIDING & ABETTING TERRORISM , UNDERWORLD & CRIMINALS.

M/s  Karnataka Telecables  Ltd , Mysore  renamed as  M/s RPG Telecom Ltd  again renamed as M/s  RPG Cables Ltd  once again renamed as M/s KEC International , Mysore  used to  manufacture  PIJF & OFC  telecables and  supplied  it  to  department of telecommunications , government of india , Indian Railways  and GAIL , PGCIL  of Ministry  of Petroleum .  DOT  used to pay  hundreds of crores of rupees from public exchequer to buy these cables .  There is also one more company by name M/s  Concepta  Cables Ltd , Mysore  belonging to the same industrial group  supplying  PIJF & OFC  telecables  to   DOT. As  a public , as a citizen of india  and  as a tax payer  I want  to know whether those crores of rupees from public exchequer are well spent.

 

1.      How many times the above said  companies were blacklisted by  DOT , Supreme Court of India  and other quasi judicial bodies , casewise ?

2.      What action taken by DOT & judicial bodies  against the above companies , casewise ?

3.      How many cable kms of cable  supplied by above companies ,  were rejected by  DOT  from the field yearwise , since 1986 ?

4.      Did the above companies replace all the cables rejected by DOT & make good  all the losses , yearwise ?

5.      If not , why ?

6.      What action taken by DOT , casewise ?

7.      How many cable kms of cables supplied by above companies  were  accepted on deviation  by  DOT  yearwise ? on what basis ?

Your denial of information  helped  crime cover ups and aided criminals  to escape & commit  more crimes unabated. Crime cover up and aid to crime in itself is one more crime. Why should not you be together with Secretary DOT  legally prosecuted for the same.

17. Give me the list of  legal actions taken by DOT  against Reliance Infocom and Reliance Jio for recovery of public money viz failure to pay switching fees , loss of money due to getting license for  data only paying lowest money  but getting freebies  of voice / telecom service at the cost of data only , rerouting of international  calls  as local calls , for failure to pay charges for using  telecom infrastructure of DOT , BSNL, MTNL.

18.  Is license issued to Reliance  infocom  and Reliance  Jio  legal ?

19. BSNL, private players like jio levy penalty , interest on post paid telephone subscribers when they make delayed bill payments. After certain period service  line itself  will be ruthlessly cut. When this is the ground reality why Jio and other private telecom players are given twenty years period by supreme court in addition to discounted rate. Has the DOT submitted an appeal in the Supreme Court of India for the review of it's order ( by Justice Arun Mishra ) regarding AGR dues ?

Sacked Gujarat IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt moves SC against refusal to suspend life term sentence

The petitioner questioned validity of HC's order when it admitted his appeal for consideration but refused to suspend the sentence

 

Sacked IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt has approached the Supreme Court, challenging the Gujarat High Court's order, which declined to suspend his sentence of life term imposed by a Jamnagar court on June 20, 2019 in a 30-year-old custodial death case. 

 

Bhatt is currently lodged at Palanpur jail. The officer, who had earlier filed an affidavit against Narendra Modi over his 'role' in 2002 Gujarat riots, claimed that the HC failed to appreciate that he had been persecuted by the state agencies from 2011, though they defended him since 1990. 

A bench of Justices Ashok Bhushan, R Subhash Reddy and M R Shah is likely to take up Bhatt's petition on Monday filed through advocate Farrukh Rasheed.

 

The petitioner questioned validity of HC's order of September 25, 2019 when it admitted his appeal for consideration but refused to suspend the sentence. As an interim measure, during the pendency of his appeal, he said his liberty must be restored as his conviction has not been confirmed.

 

 Bhatt contended that the High Court failed to see that the present incident related to death of Prabhudas Vaishnani happened 18 days after his release from police custody on November 18, 1990. Vaishnani, along with 133 accused, were arrested after violent incidents were reported in Jamnagar due to arrest of L K Advani in Bihar during his 'Rath Yatra'. Bhatt was given charge of Additional SP, Jamnagar.

"The HC ought to have appreciated that the trial court did not consider evidence of court witness P P Pandey, Investigating Officer, then SP, CID Crime, Ahmedabad, who recorded statement of different police officers, clearly indicating no beating or ill-treatment of the arrested accused," his plea claimed.

Due to ongoing "political vendetta", he claimed, those witnesses who negated the alleged incident, were dropped.

He also claimed that charges were framed against him without due sanction from the state government.

 

Sanjiv Bhatt Case: In 16 Years, Gujarat Saw 180 Custodial Deaths – and Zero Convictions

Law enforcement in Gujarat left no stone unturned to ensure Bhatt was incarcerated. That deviates significantly from the norm.

 

While Sanjiv Bhatt’s sentence to life imprisonment in a 1990 custodial death case has raised questions once again on the consequences of the IPS officer’s claims about Narendra Modi’s role in the 2002 riots, a Times of India report has shown that Gujarat isn’t in the habit of punishing other policemen accused of the same crime.

 

The report highlights, with the help of data accessed from the National Crime Records Bureau, that as many as 180 custodial deaths took place in Gujarat between 2001 and 2016 (the last year for which numbers are available). However, no police personnel have been punished for any of these deaths in this time.

The countrywide numbers are even worse — only 26 policemen have been convicted for 1,557 custodial deaths, most from Uttar Pradesh.

 

Notwithstanding the dire need for accountability in the police force, the figures draw attention to the context in which Bhatt (along with another policeman, Pravinsinh Zala) was found guilty in a case that is nearly 30 years old.

 

1990 custodial death case

Bhatt’s case dates back to November 1990, when he had detained several people (the numbers vary between 110 and 150 in different reports) for rioting in Jamjodhpur town on the day of a Bharat Bandh, called to coincide with the end of Bharatiya Janata Party veteran L.K. Advani’s rath yatra. The 1988-batch IPS officer, who was then additional superintendent of police of Jamnagar district, had been send to Jamjodhpur by then superintendent of police, T.S. Bisht, Indian Express has reported.

Among those detained was one Prabhudas Vaishnani, who was released on bail after nine days and allegedly died ten days after his release, while undergoing treatment in a hospital. His brother, Amrutlal, had then filed a complaint alleging custodial torture against Bhatt and eight other policemen. To Express, Amrutlal said that Prabhudas was a farmer and not responsible for rioting at all.

Cognisance of the case had been taken by a magistrate in 1995, but its trial had been stayed by the Gujarat high court till 2011, when the stay was vacated.

A week ago, last Wednesday, the Supreme Court had refused to entertain Bhatt’s plea seeking to examine 11 additional witnesses in the case. The former policeman had moved the apex court claiming that while nearly 300 witnesses had been listed by prosecution in the case, only 32 were actually examined. Many crucial witnesses, including three policemen who were a part of the team which investigated the offence, were left out, he had claimed.

The Gujarat government had termed Bhatt’s move a “tactic to delay the trial”.

Incriminating numbers

In what is no great testament to either the legal system or the concept of accountability in Indian law enforcement, the narrative surrounding custodial deaths until now has largely focused on the lack of action taken against police personnel. A much talked about report released by Human Rights Watch in 2016 revealed that 591 people had died in police custody in India between 2010 and 2015 alone, according to official data. Police, the report revealed, were loath to follow arrest procedures, their impunity bolstered by a system that allows them to blame such deaths in custody “on suicide, illness, or natural causes.”

While the NCRB data considered by TOI for their report does not mention figures relevant to the period during which the custodial death for which Bhatt has been convicted took place, a 1992 Amnesty International report on the issue in India quoted 415 custodial deaths in the country between 1985 and 1991. The report notes that within that period, only two cases of action having been taken in situations of custodial violence had come within the purview of the surveyors.

 

first was for a case of the rape of a tribal women in 1986. A Supreme Court commission investigating the allegation found sufficient evidence to conclude that four police officers and two doctors could be charged with “having hatched the conspiracy for destroying the evidence and thereby keeping the accused constables from being prosecuted in a court of law”.

“The most recent case known to Amnesty International resulted in a Gujarat High Court judgment on October 23, 1991; six police officers were sentenced to six years’ imprisonment for beating Kantuji Mohansinh to death in 1982 and destroying the evidence of their offence. The same police officers had previously been acquitted in May 1983 but, in the only such case known to Amnesty International, the state appealed against that judgment to the court which set aside the acquittal and convicted the police officers.”

Indeed, like the Amnesty report suggests, the untold custom is that of the state government championing the cause of its police in cases of custodial violence or deaths. Which brings us back to the particular escape from custom seen in Bhatt’s case.

Why Bhatt?

Gujarat law enforcement’s efforts in stripping Bhatt of his powers, sacking him, taking him into custody for a 22-year-old drug possessions case and arguing for his life imprisonment in the custodial death case can be considered particularly insistent.

His wife Shweta, in an interview to The Wire, had alleged likewise and detailed extraordinary steps taken to particularly humiliate and corner Bhatt and his family. Their security cover was allegedly withdrawn without prior intimation, agency officials allegedly walked into their bedroom as Shweta was asleep seeking to question her husband, and the municipal corporation allegedly sent labourers to demolish ‘illegal structures’ in their 23-year-old house.

 

The alleged harassment began in 2011, when Bhatt filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court claiming to have attended a meeting on the eve of the 2002 Gujarat riots. He alleged that Modi, who was then chief minister and is now prime minister, at the meeting asked senior IPS officers to to let Hindus “vent out their anger against Muslims” in the aftermath of the Godhra train carnage.

In the affidavit, he also alleged that it was discussed in the meeting that the bodies of the Hindu pilgrims who had died in the Sabarmati Express would be brought to Ahmedabad before being cremated. Senior police officials had, according to Bhatt, then advised against this as they feared it would incite religious violence.

Several police officers investigating the 2002 violence and the series of alleged fake encounters have reportedly been targeted by the Gujarat government and continue to face consequences of their involvement even now. Some of the officers targeted were Rahul Sharma and R.B. Sreekumar, who like Bhatt had deposed before the Nanavati Commission regarding the government’s culpability in the riots. Satish Verma, part of the SIT probing the Ishrat Jahan encounter case and Kuldip Sharma, who pursued a corruption case which involved Amit Shah, were also reported targeted.

In late 2018, a Rajnish Rai, a Gujarat cadre IPS officer who was the first investigator in the Sohrabuddin Shaikh fake encounter case, was suspended by the Ministry of Home Affairs.
