Murdered model Jessica Lall's sister Sabrina dies at 53 due multiple organ failure

Jessica Lall's younger sister Sabrina Lall,53, passed away on August 15, after being unwell for a prolonged period. She was ailing for long and was suffering from cirrhosis of the liver. "She was not keeping well and had been in and out of hospital. Yesterday, her condition deteriorated at home and we took her to hospital. Today, in the evening, she passed away. She had cirrhosis of the liver and because of that, many complications arose and she had a multiple organ failure," her elder brother Ranjith Lall told PTI over phone. Sabrina Lall had fought a long battle to bring the killers of her sister Jessica Lall behind bars.

Last year, in an interview to PTI, Sabrina had spoken about her plans to start a foundation in memory of her sister to aid women in similar situations to get justice. She had said that she has forgiven her sister's killer, Manu Sharma, who walked out of jail last year after the Delhi Sentence Review Board recommended his premature release. Siddharth Vashisht, better known as Manu Sharma, was serving life sentence in Tihar Jail for the 1999 murder. She had in 2018 written to the jail authorities that she had no objection to Sharma's release. Jessica Lall was murdered in 1999 at a upscale restaurant in the national capital. Calling Jessica her closest friend, Sabrina had said she missed her sister's presence in her life every day. A Bollywood film, 'No One Killed Jessica', was made on Sabrina's fight for getting justice for her sister.
