The Supreme Court today sought the response of dismissed IPS officer R K Sharma on the prosecution's plea challenging his acquittal in journalist Shivani Bhatnagar murder case.The court sought response on the ground that the Delhi High Court had ignored the best pieces of circumstantial evidence.

A Division bench issued notices to Sharma and two of his alleged accomplices Sri Bhagwan and Satya Prakash.These two were also acquitted by the High Court, to respond to the Delhi Police contention that the High Court had erred in its judgement by not discussing evidence of telephonic records which held key to the prosecution theory.
