New Delhi: Former IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt's children, Aakashi and Shantanu Bhatt, recently took to social media to mark the fourth year of their father's incarceration and express their sentiments about his wrongful conviction. In a heartfelt post, they shared their memories, their disappointment with the justice system, and their unwavering support for their father's fight for justice.
Reflecting on the 20th of June, the day their lives turned into a never-ending nightmare, Aakashi and Shantanu recalled the court proceedings, which they believe were subverted by the regime, leading to a vitiated trial. They lamented the lack of due process, the disregard for evidence, and the denial of the opportunity to present defense witnesses, all aimed at silencing their father's voice.
The post also emphasized Sanjiv Bhatt's unwavering commitment to fighting for justice for the victims of hate and violence, highlighting his decades-long battle for truth and accountability. Aakashi and Shantanu expressed their deep admiration and pride for their father, acknowledging him as their role model and the epitome of courage and reason.
While acknowledging the support they have received from many, the post also touched upon their disappointment with the apathy, fear, and greed displayed by some segments of society, which they believe failed to protect their father and stand up against injustice.
As the family commemorated the fourth year of Sanjiv Bhatt's wrongful conviction and the fifth year of his vindictive incarceration, they vowed to continue their fight for justice. Their message reiterated their determination to resist and overcome the challenges they face, echoing their father's unwavering spirit in the pursuit of truth and accountability.
The heartfelt post by Aakashi and Shantanu Bhatt shed light on the personal impact of their father's wrongful conviction and the family's continued struggle for justice. It serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of standing up against injustice and the enduring resilience of those who fight for truth.
This is Aakashi & Shantanu Bhatt,

Hardik Pandya, Nehra fined for breaching IPL Code of Conduct
Mumbai, May 7 (PTI): Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya and his team were handed hefty fines for maintaining a slow over rate, while their rival side Gujarat Titans' head coach Ashish Nehra also copped a financial penalty and a demerit point for conduct "contrary to the spirit of the game" in their IPL clash here.
MI lost by three wickets via the Duckworth-Lewis (DLS) method to GT in a rain-affected match which concluded well past midnight at the Wankhede Stadium here.
"As it was his team's second offence of the season under the IPL's Code of Conduct relating to minimum over-rate offences, Pandya was fined Rs 24 lakh," the IPL said in a statement.
The rest of the MI team, including the impact player and concussion substitute, were each individually fined either Rs 6 lakh or 25 per cent of their respective match fees, whichever is lesser.
Nehra's offence was not explicitly stated in the IPL press release but the former pacer was visibly agitated for a considerable time during the match which had multiple rain stoppages. He was also seen engaged in animated discussions with on-field umpires.
"Ashish Nehra, Head Coach, Gujarat Titans, has been fined 25 per cent of his match fees and has also accumulated one demerit point for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct," the IPL stated.
"He admitted to the Level 1 offence under Article 2.20 - which pertains to the conduct that is contrary to the spirit of the game - and accepted the match referee's sanction," it added.
For Level 1 breaches of the Code of Conduct, the match referee's decision is final and binding.
