NEW DELHI, October 27: Romesh Sharma was brought back to the Capital today after an ``unsuccessful'' one-day trip to Allahabad. A team of the Hauz Khas police had taken him to Allahabad to recover the original contract of the helicopter deal and his revolver. Sources disclosed that the police team made little breakthrough there.A south district police officer said: ``We have seized certain documents from his Allahabad house. We have also seized the revolver and have obtained some documents related to the helicopter deal. Sharma now claims that the remaining documents are with a director of Reliance Industries. The case is getting more and more complicated''.
Later in the day, Sharma was taken to AIIMS twice for ``routine'' checkup. Addl SHO (Hauz Khas) Anand Shukla said: ``All I can say is that we are doing everything according to the Supreme Court directive that any person in police custody has to undergo medical checkup from time to time.'' In a related development, the police today interrogated a number of people from Sharma's newly formed All-India Bharatiya Congress Party. Sharma, who is currently on police remand under the Arms Act, will be produced in court tomorrow.
DCP (Crime Branch) Karnail Singh was preparing the papers of the Laxman Jivnani case at the district Crime Cell in Amar Colony today. Jivnani had registered a case against Sharma alleging that the latter had taken the Mayfair house from him by force. A police officer said: ``We had obtained police remand for Sharma with a lot of difficulty. But Sharma's interrogation has not provided any definitive breakthrough''.
