Colleague named in attack case, city lawyers to observe no-work day

Ludhiana: After the city police registered a case against all those whom shoe trader Gurvinder Singh Prinkle had accused of having a hand in Friday night's murderoous attack on him, the district bar association (DBA-I) decided to observe a "no-work day" on Monday because Prinkle's list inlcudes local advocate Gaganpreet Singh. Protesting against random booking of people, DBA president Chetan Verma said: “Police charged advocate Gaganpreet Singh based on just a complaint, while they should have verified the allegations before lodging an FIR.” Asked why Prinkle would name the advocate, Verma said: “Gaganpreet Singh fights multiple court cases against Prinkle, so Prinkle nursers a grudge against him.
