New Delhi: Former IPS officer Sanjeev Bhatt has suffered a major setback from the apex court which is serving life imprisonment. The Supreme court has deferred the plea for suspension of Bhatt's life imprisonment sentence for six weeks. The court said that the plea will be heard after Bhatt's decision to review the review petition in which he filed against the apex court judgement of 2019.

Bhatt's lawyer Kapil Sibal suggested that it is better for the court to consider a review petition pending against the first June 2019 order, which rejected the plea of the former IPS officer to probe the additional witnesses in the trial. The apex court has ordered a plea filed by former IPS officer Sanjeev Bhatt to suspend his sentence in the custodial death case in 1990.

Several civil rights activists and organizations from India and the United States appealed to the Supreme Court of India on Monday to sanction bail to former police officer Sanjeev Bhatt. In an online press conference organized by the Indian American Muslim Council (IAMC) and the Hindus for Human Rights, organizations and activists claimed that Bhatt's conviction in a murder case was wrong and was based on false evidence.
