Mumbai - A fortnight after being sentenced to ten years jail term in
the murder case of TV executive Neeraj Grover, former navyman Emile
Jerome has moved the Bombay High Court challenging his conviction and
blaming Kannada actress Maria Susairaj for the offence.
"We have filed an appeal in the High Court against the sessions court
order. The appeal would come up for hearing on July 25 along with
Jerome's bail application," his lawyer Wahab Khan said.
On July 1, a sessions court had convicted Jerome for culpable
homicide not amounting to murder and had sentenced him to ten years
rigorous imprisonment. Jerome's fiance and Kannada actress, Maria
Susairaj, a co-accused in the case, was, however, held guilty only
under the charge of destruction of evidence and awarded a three-year
sentence.
Susairaj was let-off from jail two days after the conviction, as she
had already undergone the sentence period.
Pinning the blame on Susairaj, Jerome, in his appeal has said, "That
motive, if any, was with the original accused No. 1 (Susairaj) for
committing the offence and not with the applicant (Jerome)."
The appeal further states that the prosecution had not been able to
ascertain the time of Grover's death, and hence, the possibility that
the victim was already dead, when Jerome landed in Mumbai, cannot be
ruled out.
It further alleges that the investigating agency (Crime Branch) had
planted evidence like the knife and plastic can, in which, kerosene
was taken to burn the body.
