Court denies bail in Sumedha Sharma murder case

JAMMU: In the widely reported murder case of Sumedha Sharma, Dr. Johar Mehmood's bail application was denied by Principal Sessions Judge Jammu Sanjay Parihar on Wednesday.

Investigation revealed that the petitioner was having an affair with the dead girl, who was enrolled in Indraprastha Dental College's Post Graduation in Dental Sciences programme in Ghaziabad at the time. The deceased learned in December 2022 that the petitioner was unfaithful to her because he was seeing another woman.
