Pintu Sharma, who allegedly killed Ganesh Kolhatkar and disposed of his body after chopping it into pieces in 2019, appeared in-person at Vasai Sessions court to argue his bail plea. mid-day spent the day in court for the hearing, observing Sharma, as he calmly listened to the arguments of the prosecutor, who said there was ample evidence to prove his role in the murder.
Surrounded by Thane prison staff, Sharma, donning a white shirt, black pants and black sandal like a counsel, walked into the Vasai courtroom of Sessions Judge Dr Sudhir Deshpande at 11.40 am on Wednesday. Holding his case files, with fluorescent sticky notes poking out from pages for easy access, Sharma’s body language reflected no remorse for his alleged horrendous crime. Instead, he exuded confidence while responding to the judge in a mix of English and Hindi languages. In the courtroom, he pulled out a ball pen from his chest pocket and undersigned a few documents before the hearing for his bail plea started.
