On Tuesday, the Supreme Court of India requested the Gujarat government's response to former IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt's appeal against his life imprisonment conviction in a 1990 custodial death case. Bhatt challenged the Gujarat High Court's January 9, 2024, decision that upheld his conviction for murder, along with co-accused Pravinsinh Zala, and dismissed the state's attempt to increase the sentences of five other convicted but acquitted individuals.
