The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Lawyers in Gundlupet stayed away from court work on Wednesday and protested outside the court complex to demand the deportation of the accused in an attempted murder case.
- The case involves lawyer D. Ravi, who was attacked with a long blade on September 9 after questioning a man who was driving a car recklessly on a street in Gundlupet town.
- The protesting lawyers said the accused, who came with a friend and picked a fight before the attack, were booked only under bailable sections despite a complaint being filed.
- The lawyers demanded that a fresh statement be recorded from D. Ravi and that the accused be declared rowdy sheeters and deported.
- The protest matters because lawyers say bailable charges against a murder attempt accused leave them feeling unsafe and unpunished offenders on the streets.
What to watch next
- Whether police record a fresh statement from lawyer D. Ravi in the case
- Whether the accused are declared rowdy sheeters and deported as demanded
- Whether the sections of law against the accused are upgraded to non-bailable charges
