After stir, BJP MLA booked in Meerut lawyer suicide case

After dozens of Meerut attorneys demanded police motion in a suicide case of their 50-year-old colleague, BJP MLA from Hastinapur Dinesh Khatik and 14 others have been booked on Saturday evening below the abetment to suicide cost.
A mahapanchayat has been referred to as by locals and the household of Omkar Tomar to make sure justice to him. He was discovered hanging at his Meerut residence on Saturday and, in a three-page suicide notice, blamed Khatik for forcing him to to take the intense step. The MLA termed the allegation false and claimed that the case was politically motivated.
After studying concerning the suicide, dozens of attorneys had staged a sit-in exterior the Ganganagar police station and blocked the Meerut-Pauri freeway for greater than an hour on Saturday night. They had demanded that Khatik and others be booked within the case.
In a police grievance, Omkar’s son Luv claimed that his in-laws filed a case towards him below the Dowry Prohibition Act on the Khatauli police station a number of months in the past. Khatik and others put strain on Omkar to pay Rs 14 lakh to Luv’s in-laws to settle the dowry case, stated the grievance.
“We have registered an FIR on the basis of a complaint in which his (Omkar’s) son (Luv) has levelled serious charges of abetment to suicide naming nearly 15 people (including the BJP legislator)… Khatik has claimed that he was only trying to mediate between the two groups. We have not yet got any evidence suggesting that the legislator has created any sort of mental pressure or forced the lawyer to give money for mediation,” stated Meerut SSP Ajay Sahni.
Luv, the elder son of Omkar, stated villagers would maintain a mahapanchyat in a day or two “to ensure justice to my father”.
Meanwhile, attorneys on Sunday threatened to accentuate the protest if the MLA and others weren’t arrested. “The police are trying every trick to withdraw the name of the MLA from the FIR, but we will force them to take action against him,” stated Mahaveer Tyagi the president of the Meerut Bar Association.
Khatik stated, “The case against me is politically motivated and baseless because opposition leaders are trying to denigrate the image of the BJP and our CM.”
