A 38-year-old lawyer was shot in the head and killed at the Shahjahanpur district court in Uttar Pradesh on Monday afternoon in a chilling murder that has led to the arrest of a suspect.
According to the police, advocate Bhupendra Singh of Jalalabad tehsil had gone to a third-floor office in the district court to meet a clerk in connection with some case when a gunshot was heard and he was found dead. A country-made pistol was also spotted near the body.
While no suspect was found in the area, leading the police to say they were figuring out if it was a murder or suicide, lawyers at the complex launched a strike demanding the arrest of the accused.
Hours later, the police claimed the case had been solved and an accused had been arrested.
