Shivani Bhatnagar case: Top cop gets life term
From a custodian of the law to a convicted law breaker, life has come full circle for suspended senior IPS officer R K Sharma.
Nine years after Indian Express reporter, Shivani Bhatnagar was brutally murdered, a Delhi court found former Haryana top-cop, R K Sharma and three others guilty of murder, criminal conspiracy and destruction of evidence.
On Monday, all four accused including RK Sharma were awarded life imprisonment. He is the first IPS officer in the country to be convicted of murder.
Talking about the verdict retired IPS officer Maxwell Pereira said, “Judge has issued the right sentence of life imprisonment. I am disappointed only in the verdict of Pradeep Sharma as it could have been considered rarest of rare cases. Delhi police investigated well. It’s a tribute to the young ACP Hemant Chopra who died after investigation. He spent three months working on it.”
The court has also slapped a fine of Rs 20,000 on RK Sharma, while the other three have been fined Rs 10,000 each.
