Now, few days after a court in Nagpur acquitted all the accused in the case, CNN-IBN has got access to a report which shows how the case got manipulated.
The report was prepared by the station officer of Dewas on October 10 2006, a month after Sabharwal's death on August 2006, 26.
Giving graphic details of what happened on that fateful day, the report states:
- A meeting was on in the college to decide whether elections to the student body should be held or not.
- Professor Sabharwal was among those who didn't favour elections.
- A group of NSUI and ABVP activists were outside the college building when news of cancellation of elections reached them.
- At 1250 hrs IST, a group of NSUI workers walked inside the building and started quarrelling with the college authorities. They were asked to vacate the college premises.
- After about 45 minutes, ABVP workers came in as well.
- At about 1415 hrs, Professor Sabharwal made an attempt to get out of the college, asking his peon to take his scooter out.
- As soon Professor reached gate No. 2 of the college, ABVP activists started beating him up.
- Seeing this, a group of college professors, policemen, and peons rushed to help him.
- He was made to sit on a chair on the lawn, as he was salivating in his mouth.
- When he was taken to the hospital, he was declared brought dead.
- The report mentions 94 witnesses to incident.
- All of them turned hostile during the trial.
The courts may have declared all the accused as not guilty but does it then mean that professor was not murdered? The question is still a long way from being answered.
