IPS officer Sanjeev Bhatt today told Nanavati Commission, probing post-Godhra communal riots, he could help in "uncovering" the truth behind the incident of violence at Godhra railway station on February 27, 2002.

Bhatt, who deposed before the commission today, said in an application that he wanted to shed more light on the violent incident at Godhra railway station.

He has also sought directions for state DGP, ADGP of State Intelligence Bureau (SIB) and the Supreme Court-appointed SIT for providing him with relevant documents and records as requested by him.

"By virtue of the crucial position held by me in the State Intelligence Bureau, during the gujarat riots of 2002; I I am privy to a plethora of information regarding the facts and circumstances that led to and facilitated the Gujarat Riots of 2002," Bhatt said in the application.

"I can assist this honourable commission in uncovering the truth behind the incident of violence at Godhra railway station on February 27, 2002; as well as the facts and circumstances, including the administrative complicity and official orchestration that led to and facilitated the Gujarat riots of 2002," he added.

During deposition, Bhatt was asked by the commission about the floppy disks containing the cellphone call records of godhra town for February 26-27, 2002.

Bhatt had told the commission he had himself collected the data of cellphone calls and made floppy disks out of it which he had submitted to SIT in November 2009.

When asked why he had made those disks, Bhatt said since he was intelligence officer looking after internal security, which included communal riots, he had collected the records.

"The real reason for obtaining all the records of Godhra town cannot be disclosed at this stage," he said adding that the truth about the Godhra train burning incident would be clear once that record is placed before the commission.

The IPS officer also said that he has demanded copy of the internal document from the SIB when he was posted there as DCP during 2002.

The document is titled "Godhra Incident 27/02/2002- An Intelligence Analysis," contains analysis of cellphone records collected by Bhatt.

The Commission would be deciding on Bhatt's plea after his cross examination by the state government on May 23.
