Anything below death sentence is injustice, say family of IB officer Ankit Sharma

Ravinder Kumar, father of Intelligence Bureau officer Ankit Sharma, called the life sentences for Tahir Hussain and four others 'injustice', saying anything below death sentence is unfair.

The Delhi court sentenced former Aam Aadmi Party councillor Tahir Hussain and four others to life imprisonment for the murder of Ankit Sharma.

The family plans to challenge the verdict, hoping for a death penalty for the convicts.

Ankit Sharma's brother Ankur said the family has relocated to an undisclosed location due to trauma and wants to pursue the case for a death sentence.

Ravinder Kumar criticized the judge's observation that the convicts were 'susceptible to misinformation' due to lack of education, questioning its relevance to the brutality of the murder.
