Indri whisky by Jessica Lal’s killer wins award, sparks outrage
Indri-Trini whisky, owned by Manu Sharma, convicted in the 1999 Jessica Lal murder case, has won Best World Whisky at the Las Vegas Global Spirit Awards 2025. The win has triggered outrage online, with netizens calling it ironic and shameful that a killer's brand represents India abroad. Some, however, argued Sharma has served his sentence and deserves a second chance.
