Kasganj lawyer killed for opposing bail of lawyer’s sons | Agra News – Times of India

AGRA: A lawyer, his three sons and two of their associates are arrested on charges of kidnapping and murdering a 40-year-old female lawyer from Kasganj, Mohini Tomaron September 3. Her body was found in a canal a day later, sparking outrage among the legal community in UP.
After the body was found, her husband said, Beedra Tomar 42, filed a case against lawyer Mustafa Kamil (60), his sons Asad Mustafa (25), Haider Mustafa (27), Salman Mustafa (26) and two of their associates: lawyer Munajir Rafi (45) and a certain Keshav Mishra (46).
The case was registered at the Kasganj police station under several sections of the BNS, including 103 (murder), 140(1) (kidnapping or abduction with intent to murder) and 62(1) (criminal conspiracy).
Police said Mustafa Kamil and his three sons were arrested on Sunday, and Rafi and Mishra on Monday.
In his complaint to the police, Tomar alleged that the accused had called his wife from outside the court premises in Kasganj and then… kidnapped her. They then took her to an unknown location and murdered her. He also claimed that his wife was under immense stress after she “opposed the bail application of Mustafa Kamil’s sons in an old case.”
Tomar said she told him that she was constantly receiving threats from the accused.
Kasganj SP Aparna Rajat Kaushik said, “All six accused named in the FIR have been arrested and investigation is underway.”
Police had previously said the autopsy report did not clarify the cause of death, noting that there was only a minor injury to her chest. The autopsy report also said no water was found in her stomach, ruling out drowning. The intestines have been preserved for further analysis, police said.
