Lawyers skip court over Harda murders

Indore: Lawyers of district court here shunned work on Friday to protest the killing of Bhopal lawyer Naveen Agrawal and his brother Sudhir Harda.
The protesters demanded registration of cases of criminal conspiracy against the Sirali (Harda) SHO and the Harda deputy superintendent of police accusing them of not arresting the killers, who had visited the police station.
District bar association secretary Jai Hardia told TOI that the lawyers were united in their demand against the officials who adopted a lackadaisical attitude in responding to the complaints of abduction. Charred and disfigured bodies of the Bhopal-based lawyer and his elder brother, a businessman, were recovered from Bandarkhoh forest area in Seoni Malwa region of Hoshangabad district on Thursday. Six accused, including two bouncers hired have been arrested, but the killer is still on the run.
