Sunday Guardian publishes revealing details from Sanjiv Bhatt’s emails

Ahmedabad, 1 January 2012

Sunday-Guardian has published the details from emails of controversial suspended IPS Sanjiv Bhatt.

Bhatt on Chidambaram

I was told by Ms. Shabnam Hashmi that Home Minister P. Chidambaram can be influenced by pressure groups in the US. All appeals for the safety of witnesses, including myself, have not received the desired response from PC. You may have to work a little on this aspect….”

Bhatt’s communication with Shubhranshu Chaudhary

In one of the pre-affidavit mails to Shubhranshu Chaudhary, Bhatt tutors him by writing, “May be you can mention that I had met him (Sanjeev Bhatt) on 27th when he was about to go to the ‘disputed’ meeting.”

Bhatt asks whether Chaudhary is more comfortable with Arnab Goswami or Rajdeep Sardesai? When Chaudhary’s reluctance still persists, Bhatt writes to him, “My feeling is that we could let the press sniff it out and contact you. It will not only make a good story for them, but, make the print media to take notice of your affidavit and finally force the hand of amicus and Supreme Court to take notice and subsequent affirmative action.”

Bhatt told Chaudhary, “I think we should play the media card and make it difficult for the other side. If you fear that amicus and Supreme Court will not take it seriously then media trick can be tried. I will be speaking with Rajdeep Sardesai tomorrow I will drop a line to him and let him follow up the lead.”
