Ex-IG Sharma appears before probe panel
Panchkula, February 25 Sharma was posted as IG, Prisons, Haryana, till August 14, 2002. A team of the Crime Branch, Delhi police, came here on the night of August 2, 2002, to arrest Sharma for his alleged involvement in the murder of journalist Shivani Bhatnagar, but he managed to escape. At that time, Sharma had applied for a five-day leave — from August 5-9, 2002. His leave period included two weekends — August 3-4 and August 10-11. With the Delhi police on his trail, Sharma went in hiding and his whereabouts were not known till the day he surrendered on September 27, 2002. Sharma failed to report for duty or apply for an extension of leave after August 11 and the Home Department, Haryana, placed him under suspension for absence from duty on August 23, 2002. A departmental inquiry was thus initiated against him. Sharma was brought here by a team of Delhi police officials on the directions of a Delhi court. The Haryana Government had earlier moved an application before a Delhi court that Sharma be allowed to appear before an inquiry commission at Panchkula on February 25. Sharma was brought to Ambala by the Delhi police team last night and lodged in Ambala Central Jail. He was brought here in the morning and taken to the HIPA office in Sector 16 at around 11. 55 am. The inquiry went on for almost six hours. Other than Dr H.S. Anand, two other officers, including, District Attorney, Panchkula, were present for conducting the inquiry. The team conducting the inquiry read out the charges against Sharma, who in turn demanded that he be given documents related to the charges framed against him. Sharma reportedly refused to part with information about his whereabouts from August 3, 2002, to September 27, 2002 (the day he surrendered in Ambala), on the grounds that this could have an adverse affect on his case in Delhi. Official sources said the next date of hearing had so far not been decided. Sharma, along with Delhi Police team, was later dropped at Panchkula Bus Stand in a PCR vehicle. The team headed for Ambala and Mr Sharma will again be lodged in Ambala Jail for the night, before he is again taken to Tihar Jail tomorrow. |
