No special treatment to Manu: Sheila Dikshit

D
elhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit has said rules were followed in granting parole to Manu Sharma.

Manu Sharma, given the life sentence for murdering model Jessica Lall, is on parole, partly because his mother is ill. However, his mother has been organizing cricket matches, leading to doubts about her illness.

Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit reportedly supported his application for parole.

"All procedure to give parole were followed. Details were taken from the jail superintendent & Delhi Police and detailed inquiries were made," she said.

"Files came to me only after that, which I signed. There was no special treatment given to Manu. This is the right of all convicts. If they have stayed in jail for a few years and have good behaviour, then they can be out on parole. Everyone gives certain reasons, committee looks into these and when if found appropriate, parole is given.
