Chandigarh house of Sharmas wears deserted look

On a day when Supreme Court upheld life-imprisonment given to Manu Sharma in Jessica Lall murder case, the family's plush house in chandigarh wore a deserted look.

After the verdict came out, a battery of mediapersons camped outside the house of the Sharmas in sector 9 in Chandigarh.

However, no one from the family was present in the house, and Manu's father Venod Sharma was in Delhi.

Venod Sharma, a former Union minister, had spent some time in political wilderness following the involvement of his son in the ramp model murder case.

Though he made a new beginning in 2005 winning the Ambala assembly constituency as a Congress candidate, the Jessica Lal case led to his resignation as Haryana's power minister in October 2006.
