The forum said Nupur Sharma had been denied a free and fair trial. “ The observations as made by the bench, in our opinion, would help justify the acts of the accused persons involved in the ghastly and inhuman act of murdering a man in Udaipur, Rajasthan,” it said.

The signatories include Lieutenant General R K Sharma (retired), Major General SK Sharma (retired), brigadier Balbir Singh Sambyal (retired), retired IAS officer Nirmal Sharma, former J&K director general of police SP Vaid, advocate SS Nanda, retired justice Sunil Hali, and retired district judge Subhash Gupta.
