| Sanjeev Bhatt, then Rahul Sharma and now Rajnish Rai - as three of Gujarat's Indian Police Service officers claim that they are being harassed by the Narendra Modi government for cases pertaining to the 2002 riots in the state, the political war of words has also intensified.
Home Minister P Chidambaram has said that the Centre can intervene if the officers approach them. "The Gujarat issue is a matter of concern. Rules provide for the central government to take certain action. If the officer invokes the rule, certainly we will do it," Mr Chidambaram said.
A furious BJP has hit back at Mr Chidambaram. "His views are against the federal structure. The centre should not act as a big brother," senior BJP leader Arun Jaitley said.
Rajnish Rai, who has for some months now been on a collision course with the state government, has filed a rejoinder with the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) alleging that he was victimised by his senior officers since he had carried out an unbiased probe in the Sohrabuddin case. The CAT adjudicates in disputes and complaints with respect to recruitment and conditions of service of persons appointed to public services.
Mr Rai filed the rejoinder in the ongoing case challenging his downgrading of the Annual Confidential Report (ACR) by his then senior officers P C Pande and O P Mathur. The downgrading of the ACR, which can affect officers prospects for promotion, was stayed by the tribunal in April.
Mr Rai also alleged that Mr Pande and Mr Mathur had directed him not to record investigation details in connection with the encounter of Sohrabuddin Sheikh and Tulsiram Prajapati.
Mr Rai says PC Pande played an acquiescent role to the criminal conspiracy of the then Minister of State for Home Amit Shah and others who tampered with official records pertaining to the Sohrabuddin case in the office of the Criminal Investigation Department (Crime).
