In 1999, a young model was shot dead in a crowded South Delhi bar for refusing a drink to the son of a powerful politician. Despite dozens of elite eyewitnesses, the verdict years later was shocking: "No One Killed Jessica."
In this episode of Welted Marigold, we deconstruct the Jessica Lal murder case, a landmark moment in Indian legal history. We explore how Manu Sharma initially walked free, the "hostile witnesses" who changed their stories, and the unprecedented media trial and public outcry that eventually forced the Supreme Court to intervene. Was justice truly served, or did power almost win?
* Key Topics: The Tamarind Court shooting, Shyan Munshi’s testimony, and the "Justice for Jessica" candlelit vigils.
