Shaukat Guru and his wife Navjot
Sandhu alias Afsan Guru, two of the four convicted in the Parliament attack
case, had a tiff before Special Judge S N Dhingra could begin hearing arguments
on the quantum of sentence to be awarded to them.
Afsan walked in with her daughter,
an infant, in her arms and Shaukat tried to touch her.
"Don't touch me or my daughter.
I want nothing to do with a person who has anything to do with Pakistan,"
she screamed.
"You are my wife and you are going
to remain one," said Shaukat in a calm voice.
This was enough to provoke Afsan.
"I am not your wife. You cheated me; you deceived me. You did not tell
me that you were involved with Pakistanis. You did not tell me what were
you up to," she said loudly.
She accused the Delhi police of
picking her up on trumped up charges.
She asked Shaukat to say everything
that he knew about one Anupama Khullar. "She knows all about the conspiracy
and the men involved in the attack on Parliament. What did you do at my
bhabi's [sister-in-law] place? Why are you silent," she said.
"You are not in good frame of mind.
You don't know what are you saying," he shot back.
The judge directed the police to
take Afsan out of the courtroom so that the hearings could begin.
