New Delhi, Aug 16: With two courts declining to grant him anticipatory bail, top police officer R K Sharma, key accused in the journalist Shivani Bhatnagar murder case, is preparing to move the Delhi High Court for relief, his counsel said today.

"We are ready and will move the Delhi High Court the moment we receive instructions from Sharma,” his counsel Mohit Mathur said.
However, he declined to specify the time when they would move the court, saying that they have not received any instructions "as of now".

Sharma's earlier attempts to secure anticipatory bail suffered setback when his bail applications were dismissed by a court in Panchkula last Saturday and later by a court here on August 13. Bureau Report
