Sacked constable backs Bhatt claims on Modi meet

The constable,Naresh Brahmbhatt,was dismissed from service two days ago

A sacked head constable on Saturday claimed he was ordered by the state Police Control Room to rush to IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatts house on the night of February 27,2002 and ask to him to attend the meeting at Chief Minister Narendra Modis residence in which the CM allegedly asked top officials to let Hindus vent their anger.

The constable,Naresh Brahmbhatt,was dismissed from service two days ago for lauding Bhatt for submitting an affidavit in the Supreme Court implicating Modi in the 2002 riots.

On Saturday,Brahmbhatt,who claimed he had never met Sanjiv Bhatt earlier,turned up at the IPS officers residence with a log book to back his claims.

Bhatt,for his part,alleged that Brahmbhatt was sacked so as to discredit him before he spoke out,without giving him a chance to be heard.

Brahmbhatt landed at the IPS officers house with a worn,brown diary he claims had logs,complete with official seals,showing he was present at the Ghatlodia Police Chowki on the night of February 27,2002,when Modi summoned several officers for a meeting.

Brahmbhatt claimed that the state Police Control Room,unable to reach Bhatt on his mobile phone and the landline at his home,called the chowki and ordered him to go to the officers house and tell him that the CM had summoned him. By the time Brahmbhatt reached Bhatts residence around 9.45 pm,Bhatt had already received the message and was on his way to Gandhinagar.

On May 5,Kutch SP J Rajgor dismissed Brahmbhatt,saying he consistently and openly expressed his views against the state government.
