Gujarat Court Clears Ex-IPS Officer Sanjiv Bhatt of Charges in 27-Year-Old Custodial Torture Case

Former Indian Police Service (IPS) officer Sanjiv Bhatt has been acquitted in a 27-year-old custodial torture case after a Gujarat court found the prosecution's evidence insufficient to prove the charges beyond reasonable doubt. The court in Porbandar, led by Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Mukesh Pandya, concluded that Bhatt, who was serving as the Superintendent of Police (SP) in Porbandar at the time, could not be convicted for causing grievous hurt to extract a confession from the complainant, Naran Jadav, in 1997.
