JHANSI: Former president of
Bar Council
committed
suicide
by shooting himself with his licensed gun in
Mahoba
on Saturday late night and blamed a block pramukh, who is also a history-sheeter, and his son in his suicide note.
The deceased Mukesh Pathak, an advocate who was
former Bar Council
president in Mahoba, had some financial dealings with Chhatrapal Yadav, who is a proclaimed history-sheeter having over two dozen cases against him.
Yadav is also the block pramukh and a member of Pragatisheel Samajwadi Party.
In his suicide note, Pathak said that Chhatrapal Yadav and his relatives have been constantly harassing and threatening him and his son and as a result he is taking the extreme step.
Few days ago, Chhatrapal and his associates had brutally thrashed Mukesh’s son following which he had lodged a case against Yadav and three others.
On Saturday evening, they had a meeting in a local hotel which was attended by some influential persons of the city to settle the matter but it ended without any conclusion. Mukesh shot himself late at night with his licensed gun.
Police lodged a case against Chatrapal and his son Vikram under section 306 on Sunday and arrested the duo.
SP Mahoba Arun Srivastav said, “Our police team has arrested the accused duo. The circle officer of the area has also been shifted.”
Meanwhile, the Mahoba administration has recommended an SIT probe into the matter.
