New Delhi: Noted criminal lawyer R.K. Naseem, who was the main defence counsel for Batla House encounter and Delhi blasts accused, succumbed to head injuries on February 7 at a private hospital here after battling for life for about two weeks. On January 24, his close relative and ex-BJP legislator Vinod Sharma had brutally beaten him while the Delhi police allegedly remained mute spectator.



Balta House

Naseem sustained severe head injuries after he was hit by Sharma with a stick on the head in Dabri area of Delhi reportedly over a property dispute. He was admitted to Mata Channan Devi Hospital in Delhi's Janakpuri area in a critical condition. The former BJP MLA was arrested on January 29 by the Delhi Police's Crime Branch.

Apart from Batla case, Naseem was defence counsel in important cases like the Jessica Lal murder case and the Priyadarshini Mattoo rape and murder case.

As soon as the news of his death spread yesterday, lawyers in Delhi's lower courts went on strike for the rest of the day.

death of the lawer is a shoking news for every one, it becomes more painful when the lawer was about to reach the verdict, what will be fate of those cases and the vitims of the famous mishaps,
was it a planed one or just an incidental event,when mr vonod sharma will get the verdict of this broad day light murder? why BJP is silent on the issue? Why media is alomost silent? or just they need some salt to twist the issue!
