Delhi Police Commissioner Y S Dadwal on Friday said the police had not recommended the Sheila Dikshit government to grant parole to murder convict Manu Sharma,who courted controversy recently due to an alleged scuffle he and his friend had at a club while Sharma was out on parole.
Dadwal told reporters that the Delhi government had sought the polices report on Sharma before granting the parole,which was submitted.
Sharma is convicted in model Jessica Lals murder in April 1999.
Calling it a routine affair for the government to ask police before granting parole,the police chief said,The police send their report (and) it is for the government to take a decision based on that. We had submitted the report when the government asked us.
A controversy arose after Sharma,serving life sentence for Jessica Lals murder,along with friend Sahil Dhingra,allegedly got involved in a fracas at the nightclub LAP on November 7,in violation of parole norms,which prescribed Sharma to be in Chandigarh.
