Victim’s father wants police protection

GURGAON: Ravinder Tyagi, father of Abhishek Tyagi who was shot dead in the Euro International School in December 2007, has requested the Gurgaon police for protection.
In a letter to police commissioner S S Deswal on February 12, Tyagi wrote that his family felt threatened from the kin of the main juvenile accused, who is out on bail. The victim has also alleged that the main accused had attempted to murder a Delhi-based advocate Rishi Raj in Kapasheda in south west Delhi in November last year.
The victim’s father said that he was regularly pressurized by the family of the accused to withdraw the case, and was “followed in a car without number plate”. Tyagi claimed that the man, who shot his son, is a resident of Bamdoli and is a “contract killer”. Advocate Rishi Raj said, “In this case, the police had filed chargesheets against two accused in the court. One of them turned out to be a juvenile and was released on bail.”
