JAMMU, July 11: In the much publicized writ petition filed by Prof S K Bhalla seeking initiation of disciplinary proceedings and withdrawal of security cover from Kewal Krishan Sharma, the then Additional PRO to the then Deputy Chief Minister, Kewal Krishan Sharma filed his response in pursuance to the directions issued by the State High Court on April, 27, 2015.
In the response filed through Advocates Ajay Vaid and Gagan Kohli, Kewal Sharma has alleged threat to his life from militants, subversive elements and criminals and totally denied any threat or intimidation from the ex-Deputy Chief Minister Tara Chand.
He submitted that he and his family members are living under the shadow of fear of death or physical harm as the State has withdrawn the security cover under the fear of litigation. He has denied to be a blue eyed person of the then Deputy Chief Minister and has also denied of running a transfer industry in the Education Department.
On the other hand Raj Kumari Sharma, wife of Kewal Krishan Sharma on July, 26, 2013 lodged a written report in Police Post Pouni Chak (Talab Tillo), Jammu vide Daily Diary Report No.24 that her husband, who was working as PRO with the DyCM has telephonically informed her that the then DyCM was annoyed with her husband on some unknown reason and there was every apprehension that DyCM may eliminate her husband through someone.
Pursuant to the complaint lodged by Raj Kumari Sharma, undue security cover was provided to Kewal Sharma.
The High Court has directed the Registry to list this petition along with all connected Miscellaneous Petitions in the week commencing August 3 for further consideration.
