Once a decorated officer, Sanjiv Bhatt’s life turned upside down after he accused Gujarat’s top leadership of manipulating investigations related to the 2002 Gujarat riots and the Haren Pandya murder case. From exposing fake encounters to revealing explosive details about secret meetings, Bhatt claimed he was silenced for knowing too much.
This episode takes you deep into Gujarat’s political labyrinth — from the 1990 Jamnagar riots to the Banaskantha drug planting case, from custodial death charges to life imprisonment sentences. We trace how cases closed decades ago were suddenly reopened the moment Bhatt spoke against the establishment.

And what does the Haren Pandya case reveal about the dark nexus between politics, police, and power in modern India?
Watch the full episode to understand how dissent turns into danger when truth threatens authority.
