NEW DELHI: Pradeep Sharma, the killer who was hired by IPS officer R K Sharma to murder Shivani Bhatnagar, on Tuesday moved the HC challenging his conviction by the trial court. Stating that the trial court has held the IPS officer as the chief conspirator in the case, Sharma claimed that there was no motive for him to kill her because he had no personal enmity. The trial court convicted Pradeep on prosecution's claim that he took the contract to kill Shivani on the promise that he would be re-instated in HUDA as a clerk. In his appeal Pradeep cites his previous employer to claim he left HUDA willingly and had no interest in joining it again. Another ground for seeking an acquittal by was ignoring key evidence. "My client had left Shivani's house by 3.10 pm as shown by the entry register. However, the complainant in his statement has said that he last spoke with his wife at 3.30 meaning she was alive at that time when the alleged killer had left her apartment," Goswami has argued.
