Zakia: SIT obsessed with proving Sanjiv Bhatt wrong,ignoring crucial evidence

Jafri said that the SIT was obsessed with proving Bhatt wrong than examining other evidence.

Zakia Jafri’s lawyer told the court on Friday that the SIT was “obsessed with proving IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt and retired DGP RB Sreekumar wrong” than examining other evidence. Terming the reports of the National Human Rights Commission’s as crucial to trying the CM and the other accused,the widow of former Congress MP Ehsan Jafri,killed in the 2002 post-Godhra riots,alleged that the SC-appointed Special Investigation Team had ignored the findings of the commission.

“Today,we have institutions like the NHRC,Chief Election Commission and SC which were not as active or did not exist during the partition and then during the 1984 riots. But does that mean we don’t consider them today?” Jafri’s lawyer Mihir Desai argued.
