Jessica Lall murder convict Manu Sharma supposedly works with a non-profit in his name, which claims to work for rehabilitation of prisoners and their children.
NEW DELHI: Twelve years after Manu Sharma was sentenced to life in prison for killing model Jessica Lall for denying him a drink at a party, her sister Sabrina Lall says she "forgives him" and won't object to his release. "His conviction was closure for me," she said today, wishing to "let go of the baggage" and move on.
Sabrina Lall has written a letter to the welfare officer at Delhi's Tihar Jail, where Manu Sharma has spent the last 12 years. "I am told that in this period he has been doing good work for charity and helping inmates in jail which I feel is a reflection of reform... I would like to state I have no objection to his release, owing to the fact that he has spent 15 years in jail," says her handwritten letter dated March 5. Sabrina Lall also refuses compensation.
"I have been hearing from common friends that he has been doing good work in jail and believe he has reformed. I have no issues if he is released," the 49-year-old told NDTV.
"My family has suffered a lot and this is a load off my chest."
Manu Sharma has been moved to an "open jail" on grounds of good conduct. The 41-year-old is allowed to leave the prison every day for work and return in the evening.
"Manu Sharma has been in an open jail for the past six months," the Tihar Jail Director General Ajay Kashyap told NDTV, adding that prisoners who have shown good conduct over the years are shifted to an open jail.
