Sanjiv Bhat's plea seeking security for family rejected

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Friday refused to entertain sacked Gujarat cadre IPS officer Sanjiv Bhat's plea seeking security for his family. A bench of Justices AK Sikri and S Abdul Nazeer asked Bhat to approach the Gujarat High Court with his plea. On October 4 last year, the apex court dismissed his wife Shweta Bhat's plea, challenging the police probe and his judicial custody in a 22-year-old case of alleged planting of drugs to arrest an advocate, and said he could approach an "appropriate forum" for relief.
