India's Infamous and Sensational Sting Operations

2. Jessica Lal Murder Case:

In Jessica Lal murder case, sting operations which were carried out first by Tehelka magazine and later by Star TV played a significant role in conviction of Manu Sharma, the main accused in the case. The 'operations' revealed how money and muscle power was used to coerce the three key witnesses- Shyan Munshi, Karan Rajput and Shiv Das into changing their stand in court despite having given statements.
The sting operation successfully exposed how accused Manu Sharma had influenced the witnesses to speak in his favor. It led to the case being reopened and the conviction of Sharma. Manu Sharma, the son of Vinod Sharma, former Congress minister, is presently serving life imprisonment in Tihar jail along with co-accused Vikas Yadav and Amardeep Singh Gill, who were sentenced for destroying evidence.
