Lieutenant Governor of Delhi Anil Baijal on Tuesday allowed the release of 1999 Jessica Lal murder convict Manu Sharma. A premature release of Sharma had been recommended by the Delhi Sentence Review Board (SRB) on May 12. The recommendation was made at a meeting of the SRB chaired by Delhi home minister Satyendar Jain, sources said. Sharma is presently serving life imprisonment in the case. Lal was shot dead by Sharma after she had refused to serve him liquor at the Tamarind Court restaurant owned by socialite Bina Ramani in south Delhi's Mehrauli area on the night of April 30, 1999.
