Sharma interrogated, cops get nothing new

He was interrogated for over three hours from 11 a.m. by a team led by Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Vivek Gogia. According to police sources, he was asked about the telephone numbers and addresses where Manu Sharma could be hiding.

Also, details of his son’s passport, driving licence and the gun licence were sought. However, the police admit that no vital information came out of the interrogation. Sharma also went to the Mehrauli police station for five minutes after which he returned to the Hauz Khas police station at 3 p.m. where he sat, consulting his lawyer. “I am sure that the law will take its own course and I am willing to help the police as much as I can,” said Sharma. He categorically denied that he was aware of the whereabouts of his son as “he had not contacted him” after the incident.

He also said that the police were wrong in saying that he was missing when a team went to interrogate him in Chandigarh. “There is no question of the house being locked. It is a joint family and people are there all the time.” He also denied being in Delhi recently. “I have just driven down to Delhi this morning and was in Chandigarh all these days,” he said. They sat in the conference room of the police station at Hauz Khas with the room bolted from inside. He was also accompanied by a local journalist from Chandigarh. He said he would return to the police station tomorrow for further interrogation.
