KANPUR: Adhivakta Kalyan Sangharsh Samiti on Thursday demanded a CBI inquiry in the matter of the murder of advocate

Raja Ram

and mysterious disappearance of another advocate Ashiq Ali.

A delegation of the Samiti led by its convener

Pt Ravindra Sharma

handed over a memorandum to the representative of the district magistrate, Kanpur Nagar about their demand.

Sharma

said that the advocates were being attacked and killed regularly.

Further, it was evident that the police did not register any FIR first, and if the report was registered then submit its final report. And moreover, the police did not conduct a fair investigation. Matter of Ashiq Ali’s advocate was evidence of such activities. The court itself had rejected the final report submitted by the police. Ashiq Ali disappeared a couple of years ago when he was returning to his home from court. The police had failed to trace the body of the advocate or any other detail.

Citing the murder of Raja Ram, Sharma submitted that CBI inquiry of both matters would reveal the truth, therefore, the state should order to conduct the CBI inquiry.

JL Saroj, additional city magistrate and representative of the district magistrate, Kanpur Nagar received the memorandum and assured that it would be sent to the chief minister for proper action.
