Ansal and others alleging that on May 10, 2007, some employees of Ansals clicked her pictures with "ulterior motive" and their security guards also passed "lewd remarks", when she was walking out of the court after attending the proceedings. Earlier, police had filed its charge sheet against the Ansals and others saying they have "substantial" evidence against them for "tampering" with records of the 1997 fire tragedy case. According to the charge sheet, the documents alleged to have been tampered with included a police memo giving details of recoveries immediately after the incident, Delhi Fire Service records pertaining to repair of transformer installed inside Uphaar, minutes of managing director's meetings and four cheques. Out of the six set of documents, a cheque of Rs 50 lakh, issued by Sushil Ansal to self, and minutes of the MD's meetings, proved beyond doubt that the two brothers were handling the day-to-day affairs of the theatre at the relevant time, the charge sheet had said. Sushil and Gopal Ansal, now out on bail, along with 10 others were convicted by a trial court here on November 20 last year for their complicity in the Uphaar theatre fire case in which 59 cine-goers lost their lives during the screening of "Border" movie on June 13, 1997.
