Lucknow:
Hundreds of lawyers here Monday took to the streets, targeted
vehicles and pelted stones at police in their protest over the
killing of a colleague, officials said.
Demanding an enquiry into the murder of their colleague Gauri
Shankar Mishra, lawyers of the district and sessions courts staged
demonstrations in Qaiserbagh area.
The situation was brought under control only after senior
officials of police and district administration reached the spot
and assured the lawyers of an impartial enquiry into the murder.
"Adequate security has been deployed in the area in the wake of
the lawyers' protest," superintendent of police (West) B.P. Ashok
told reporters here.
According to police, no one was seriously injured in the incident.
Mishra, a resident of Nishatganj area, was shot dead late Saturday
night and died of his multiple bullet injuries Sunday.
Police have arrested four people for the killing. Lawyers alleged
the main accused in the murder - Gopal Mishra's neighbour -
enjoyed police patronage.
While lawyers claimed Mishra was killed over some property
dispute, police now have not come up with any specific motive
behind the murder.
