Romesh Sharma’s appeal admitted in High Court
|
Challenging his conviction in Kunjum murder case
|
NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court on Monday admitted an appeal by Romesh Sharma, alleged front man of underworld don Dawood Ibrahim, challenging his conviction in the Kunjum Budhiraja murder case.
A Bench headed by Justice H. R. Malhotra issued notice to the Delhi Police on Sharma’s plea for bail in the case, directing it to file its reply by July 23.
Sharma had moved the High Court on April 24 challenging the life term awarded to him by a city court for killing his fashion designer girlfriend Kunjum.
On February 18, a Delhi court had awarded life imprisonment to Sharma and five others for murdering Kunjum on March 20, 1999.
Fine
The court had acquitted another accused, Jaspreet Virdi alias Sonu, for want of evidence. The court had also imposed a fine of Rs.50,000 on Sharma and Rs.5,000 each on his nephew Surinder Mishra and a woman convict Tejinder Virdi alias Dolly.
According to the prosecution, Sharma had hatched the conspiracy to kill 29-year-old Kunjum while he was in judicial custody in connection with several cases, including that of intimidation, property-grabbing and cheating. Kunjum was stabbed to death by a group of hired gangsters from Uttar Pradesh at the instance of Surinder Mishra, a co-accused and nephew of Sharma at a South Delhi farmhouse. - PTI
