Interestingly, of the two yoth who were admitted to the hopsital, resident of Rajpora, one has been removed to Bones and Joints Hopistal in Barzalla and the other one has reportedly been sent home.
Sharma, who is scheduled to take off for Delhi Wednesday afternoon, has been talking to the young men in absence of any police or civil administration official. Sources said he has been exchanging details and in certain cases e-mail addresses with the people he meet. All the discussions, so far, have remained in camera.
