Bhatt had approached the apex court for quashing of a case where it is alleged that he had hacked the email account of the Gujarat additional advocate General, Tushar Mehta.
Mehta in August had lodged a complaint with the state cyber cell accusing Bhatt of hacking his e-mails, police said.
"A case has been registered against IPS officer Sanjeev Bhatt after a complaint was lodged against him by the Additional Advocate General of Gujarat High Court accusing him of hacking his e-mails," Joint Commissioner of Police of sector-I Ajay Tomar said.
"An FIR has been registered (under the Information Technology Act-2008) at the Vastrapur police station, and investigations are underway," another police official had added.
Mehta alleged that Bhatt hacked his e-mail and accessed it and passed on the information to others also.
"These communications contain my personal, official, and legal correspondences which are not only unauthorisedly seen by Bhatt but shared by him with others for ulterior motive, which, apart from being criminal offences, grossly violates my right of privacy," Mehta said in the complaint.
"I have reasons to believe that he must have taken hard and soft copies of my emails and he is using the same out of contact for an ulterior motive and with an intention of tarnishing my reputation," he said.
