Jessica Lall Murder Convict Manu Sharma Back In Jail

NEW DELHI: Manu Sharma, convicted in the murder case of Jessica Lall, returned to Tihar jail before the expiration of his probation after assembly

criticism that he violated the rules of probation. This has prompted the Delhi government to ask the police to investigate the allegations.

Santiago, 32, whose two-month probation was to expire on November 22, reported at the prison around 11.45 am, a jail official said above.

Sharma, who was released from prison on Sept. 22 in the floor of the illness of his mother, was seen at a nightclub in a hotel here on Saturday night. Her mother was seen addressing a press conference in Chandigarh last week.

The actor Arjun Rampal, who co-owns a bar in a hotel in the city, confirmed that Manu was seen there.

The reports sparked a major controversy among legal experts and opposition BJP alleging that he was granted parole under “political pressure” by the New Delhi government, a charge strongly denied by Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, who said which was within the scope of the law.

After criticism, the Delhi government asked the city police to investigate whether Santiago violated the rules of probation out of Chandigarh and pay a visit here.

Santiago should not have been present in Delhi and was given probation on condition he would visit Chandigarh to meet his “sick” mother, a senior Delhi government.

“We have sought a detailed report from Delhi Police on whether Sharma, visited the city,” he said.
