Manu Sharma returns to Tihar 12 days before of parole expiry

New Delhi, Nov 10 (PTI) Manu Sharma, serving a life
sentence for murder of model Jessica Lal, returned to Tihar
Jail Tuesday on his own 12 days before his parole expired
after a controversy raged over alleged parole violation by
him.

In a signficant development that lent weight to
allegations that Manu violated parole norms, Delhi Police sent
a letter to the Delhi government confirming his presence at a
night bar in a city hotel.
With its decision to grant parole to the 32-year-old
convict coming under intense criticism, the Sheila Dixit
Government also sought a report from city police asking
whether he violated parole norms following reports about his
presence at night bars and allegedly entering into a scuffle
there.
Manu came back to Tihar's Jail No 2 at around 11:45 AM
though his parole was to end only on November 22, a top jail
official said. Sharma was awarded life imprisonment for the
murder of Jessica Lal in 1999.
A controversy erupted after Sharma along with a friend
Sahil Dhingra was reportedly spotted at LAP Lounge Bar last
week in violation of his parole norms which prescribed him to
be only in Chandigarh.
Actor Arjun Rampal,the co-owner of the bar, said Sharma
visited the bar as a guest of Dhingra, one of the members of
the club. Sharma is the son of a Congress leader from Haryana
Venod Sharma.
Chief Minister Sheila Dixit said it "is good" Manu has
gone back to jail. Asked whether Sharma will face any penalty
for violating parole conditions, she said, "I do not know
about it". (More) PTI MPB
