Sabrina Lall fought an unrelenting battle against all odds to bring her sister's killer to justice. Jessica Lall was shot dead in April 1999 at an elite Delhi bar where she worked as a barmaid. Manu Sharma, also known as Siddharth Vashisht, the son of an influential MP, was identified by many as the murderer.
Post a long process, during which Sabrina Lall was at the forefront of the efforts to nail the accused, Sharma was convicted and sentenced to prison. The murder and the following investigation had sparked a furore across the country. In an interview with popular social media handle Humans of Bombay, Sabrina Lall explained that the pressure from Sharma's family and hostile witnesses almost jeopardised the case. "Once, Mr Manu Sharma's parents came home with a bouquet. On one hand, they were threatening witnesses, on the other, they were playing the sympathy card," she said.
In a 2020 interview with PTI, Sabrina Lall spoke about her plans to launch a foundation in memory of her sister to aid women in similar situations to get justice. She also said she has forgiven Sharma, who walked out of jail last year following the Delhi Sentence Review Board's recommendation for his premature release from his life sentence. She had, in 2018, written to the jail authorities that she had no objection to his release. A film, No One Killed Jessica, was made on Sabrina Lall's fight for justice.
