Handwriting analysts testified that Charles Sobhraj’s signature has been found on the registration cards of the hotel where he stayed. However, his lawyers said that the original evidences were never produced in the court but only photocopies. Ram Bandu Sharma told the media that his client Charles Sobhraj is innocent and he is hopeful that the court shall take the right decision for the case. He also informed that Charles Sobhraj has been notified of the legal proceedings but he might not turn up at the court.
