Jessica Lall murder convict Manu Sharma back in jail

NEW DELHI: Manu Sharma who was serving life sentence at Tihar jail for killing model Jessica Lall in 1999 surrendered to Delhi Police on Tuesday.

Manu Sharma's parole triggered a huge controversy after he was seen visiting a fancy Delhi nightclub with friends.

Faced with severe criticism for recommending release of Jessica Lall murder case convict Manu Sharma on parole, Delhi government had asked Delhi Police to conduct a thorough probe on whether he violated the parole norms by moving out of Chandigarh and paying a visit here.

Jessica's sister, Sabrina, expressed shock at the news of Manu being out on parole. Drawing a parallel with the murder case of Nitish Katara, Sabrina wondered why Manu couldn't be treated like Vikas Yadav, who went to attend his sister's wedding under the watchful eyes of policemen.
