Sharma had joined the IB in 2017 and was posted in the MT department as a driver. As per a Jagran report, Sharma was a resident of Delhi’s Khazoori and was apprehended by a mob on Tuesday night (25 February) while he was returning from his duty.
Sharma’s father who is a head constable with the IB, has claimed that his son was also shot by the rioters. The father added that their family was looking to get Ankit married.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
