Faridabad, July 3: The District and Sessions Judge on Monday held Mohit Sharma, son of Shiv Kumar Sharma, a former IPS officer of the Punjab cadre, along with six others guilty in a robbery case registered in 2008. However, three accused were acquitted for lack of evidence.
As the judgment regarding the case that was registered under Sections 397 and 120- B of the IPC by the Punjab Police was pronounced on Monday, the quantum of sentence to the guilty is likely to be pronounced on July 6.
Mohit, whose father was then posted in Punjab, along with nine others was booked for robbery of diamond jewellery worth several crores of rupees at gunpoint.
Though the case was registered in Punjab, it was transferred to Faridabad in 2011 to ensure transparency and check unnecessary influence of the kin of the accused on the trial of the case, it is reported.
