Ahmedabad: A Gujarat sessions court on Monday admitted the bail application of suspended IPS officer Sanjeev Bhatt, who was arrested on September 30.

The court also sent a notice to the Gujarat government and the state Director General of Police.

Bhatt was arrested in Gandhinagar on charges of fabricating evidence and wrongful confinement.

The arrest came after one of his juniors, KD Pant, alleged that Bhatt had forced him to file a false affidavit against Chief Minister Narendra Modi.

The suspended IPS officer had accused Chief Minister Narendra Modi of abetting the 2002 riots.

On Sunday, Bhatt got a reprieve when a court rejected an application seeking his police remand and was sent to judicial custody.
