UP: Lawyers protest ‘murder’ of colleague in Prayagraj

“We are investigating into the matter and will soon arrest the accused. We have some clues to narrow down on who has killed him. The family has not named anyone as suspects yet,” said the SP.

Idrees is survived by his wife and a five-year-old son who has a hearing disability.

Later in the day, lawyers protested outside the district court, demanding compensation for the family of the victim.

The SP said that the lawyers were demanding immediate compensation for the victim’s family. “Immediate compensation is not possible. The district administration has assured the protesting lawyers that it will recommend the government to give the victim’s family compensation. The protest was called off after an hour, but may continue tomorrow (Friday),” said the SP.
