New Delhi: There's a new twist in the Jessica Lall murder case. Manu Sharma's defence lawyer Ram Jethmalani says it wasn't his client, but "a tall, Sikh man" who had shot the model dead.

Jethmalani also says he has enough evidence to prove who this man was and would reveal his identity in the next few days.

"Jethmalani said his client had been implicated by this man because he was more powerful," says R D Rana, a Delhi High Court lawyer.

This revelation was made by Jethmalani while he was countering the testimony of witness Deepak Bhojwani.

Bhojwani had told the trial court that he had met a chubby, short, plump man in white T-Shirt, who had identified himself as Manu Sharma in the party.

They were about to exchange cards when a tall Sikh man took Manu away. Prosecution had argued this man was actually Manu's friend Tony Gill. But Jethmalani says Tony wore a green turban while the man who took Manu away, had a red one.

"The tall Sikh gentleman seems to be one of the accused, Tony Singh Gill, but I presume he is not talking about him. I have never heard of such a theory," says Jessica Lall's sister, Sabrina Lall.

Jethmalani says the man who shot Jessica manged to escape the media and the police's glare too and if he manages to convince the court with this argument, he will not only save his client but also prove how Delhi Police botched up investigations to save some one who they thought was above law.
