Her name was Jessica Lal. She was 34 years old. A model in Delhi working as a celebrity barmaid at a party in Mehrauli on the night of April 29 1999. There were over 300 people at that party. Politicians. Businessmen. Fashion designers. Bollywood faces. At midnight the bar ran out of liquor. Manu Sharma walked in. Son of a Congress MP. He demanded a drink. She said no. He offered her Rs 1,000. She said no again. He pulled out a pistol. Fired one shot at the ceiling as a warning. She still said no. He shot her in the head. Then he walked out. Among the group that left with him that night was Vikas Yadav. Son of MP D.P. Yadav. The same Vikas Yadav who three years later kidnapped and murdered Nitish Katara. Out of 300 people at that party only 10 came forward to testify. Then one by one they changed their statements. 32 witnesses turned hostile. In February 2006 the trial court acquitted all nine accused. The nation erupted. Media ran a sting operation. Witnesses were caught on camera admitting they had been paid to change their testimony. Manu Sharma’s father was linked to the bribes. The public campaign forced a High Court appeal. Daily hearings for 25 days. In December 2006 Manu Sharma was convicted. Life imprisonment. Vikas Yadav got four years. He was out on bail when he committed the Nitish Katara murder. Today Manu Sharma is free. Released in 2020 on good behaviour after 17 years. He changed his name. He now runs a whisky brand called Indri. Jessica never got to say no again. Her sister Sabrina fought alone for 7 years. She lost her mother in 2000. Her father died in 2006. She kept fighting. If Sabrina had stopped this case would have died the way Jessica did. In silence. Follow for real stories about the people who refused to let India forget.
