 "Gujarat IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt")
A court in Banaskantha district of Gujarat on Friday rejected a bail application filed by former IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt.
Additional sessions judge of Palanpur court P S Brahmbhatt refused to grant relief to Bhatt, who is behind bars since September this year in connection with a 22-year-old drug seizure case.
Bhatt, who was sacked in 2015, was superintendent of police in Banaskantha district in 1996.
The district police had arrested Sumersingh Rajpurohit, a lawyer, in 1996, claiming to have seized drugs from a hotel room in Palanpur town where he was staying.
However, the Rajasthan Police said later that Rajpurohit was falsely implicated
