Advocate Killed, 11 arrested including Lawyers.

Agra : A 65-year-old Advocate, Ram Bahadur Mudgal, was allegedly shot dead by 4  bike-borne men in Agra’s Shahganj area on Tuesday night.

Police have registered an FIR against eleven people, including some Lawyers, under various sections of the Indian Penal Code on the basis of a complaint filed by Mudgal’s son, Mahan. No one has been arrested so far.

SSP said that preliminary investigation suggests that a long-standing property dispute between Mudgal & his brothers may have led to the lawyer’s murder. Family members of the deceased claimed that they had already informed the police about the dispute, but they didn’t take the matter seriously.

As per the FIR lodged by Mahan Mudgal, the incident took place when his father was sitting near a local dhaba & four bike-borne men came & opened fire at him.

“My father immediately collapsed & when my brother & I tried to catch the shooter, they opened fire with an intention to kill us. However, we were not hurt,” Mahan Mudgal said in the FIR, adding that a person named Rajeev had threatened his father over the phone that he would kill him & his family just two hours before the incident.

The matter is being investigated in detail & teams have been formed to nab the accused, said SSP Agra Sudhir Kumar Singh.
