Gujarat Police claiming threat to husband's life

A day after Sanjeev Bhatt was arrested, the suspended Gujarat IPS officers wife on Saturday wrote a letter to Gujarat's Director General of Police (DGP) Chitranjan Singh and Ahmedabad Police Commissioner Sudhir Sinha, saying there is a threat to her husband's life.
In the letter, Bhatt's wife Shweta also asked her husband shouldn't be interrogated at night and demanded to know why he was shifted to the Crime Branch.
Shweta also told the television channel Times Now that neither she nor Bhatt's lawyer were being allowed to meet him.
Bhatt had accused Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi of complicity in 2002 post-Godhra riots.
Bhatt was arrested on the basis of a complaint filed by a junior officer KD Pant. Pant alleged that Bhatt had forced him to back his allegations on record against Narendra Modi.
The Narendra Modi Government had ordered the suspension of the Inspector General-rank police officer in August this year on the grounds that his conduct was unbecoming of an IPS officer.
