The man who shot dead model Jessica Lal for refusing him a drink, is the actual person behind Indri, an Indian brand that is the fastest-growing whiskey in history (100,000 cases of Indri sold within just two years).
Manu Sharma now goes by the name Siddharth Sharma.
To add to it:
He was released early from Tihar Jail on the grounds of “good behavior.”
Even during that period, he was on parole at least 10 times in the last 16 years. He was also shifted to an open jail—which allows prisoners to walk out in the morning and come back in the evening—in 2017.
The best part: the family also owns the Pro Wrestling League, the Indian Arena Polo League, and the iTV Network. (The family was accused of ‘influencing’ evidence.)
The latter is a news company that owns NewsX, The Sunday Guardian, India News, and a bunch of others (“India News has expanded into the regional TV news space with channels including India News Haryana, India News Uttar Pradesh-Uttarakhand, India News Madhya Pradesh-Chhattisgarh, India News Punjab, India News Gujarat, India News North East, and India News Kannada”).
His mother, Shakti Rani Sharma, joined the BJP, and her other son Kartikeya is also an independent Rajya Sabha MP (defeated Congress).
And now Manu Sharma’s empire is expanding to Scotland. “Today we can reveal the party-loving killer is seeking to make big moves in Scotland’s lucrative whisky industry as part of a new distillery in Argyll and Bute. HMRC approved a license to Portavadie Distillers and Blenders to construct a new state-of-the-art facility.
And now the whitewashing which is happening via PR
Until you read about the backstory of Indri, it would be a super successful story & that’s the problem when we define success in such a narrow way without context or impact.
