GURGAON, October 28: One of the complainants in the Romesh Sharma case, Sanjay Sabharwal fears for his life. Though the Haryana Police have assigned three guards to him, Sabharwal feels that some of Sharma’s relatives will try to kill him. Sabharwal who lives with his widowed mother, Kranti at Palam Vihar has also met the Deputy Commissioner, Gurgaon seeking adequate security for his mother and himself.

Sabharwal recounted the horrors of “his forcible confinement” at Romesh Sharma’s Mayfair Garden residence. The guards do not let him go anywhere alone — even during his conversation with Express Newsline the guards stayed put.

He claims he had persistently followed up the case over the past two years. Sabharwal finally succeeded in getting a case registered against Sharma for usurping his property through fraudulent means, detaining him illegally at his residence and for torture.

In his complaint to the police, he also alleged that Sharma took possession of his Contessa car (DL-26 F-3522) and several “electronic items”. Says Sabharwal: “He used to thrash me with hockey sticks whenever I refused to sign the property documents. I was even locked up in a room for five days at his residence”.

His mother Kranti asks why all this had to happen to their family.
