DHCBA calls for CP monitored probe into Adv. Lakshya Chauhan murder case

NEW DELHI: The Executive Committee of the Delhi High Court Bar Association (DHCBA) has called for the Commissioner of Police, Delhi, and the concerned Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) to personally monitor the investigations into the murder of Adv. Lakshya Chauhan - a member of the DHCBA and Rohini Court Bar Association.

Son of Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Yashpal Singh, Chauhan had been missing since January 22, for which a missing person report was filed with the police.

Lakshya, in his mid-thirties was a practising lawyer, and had reportedly gone to attend a wedding in Bhiwani in Haryana on January 22 with one  Vikas Bhardwaj (a clerk in Tis Hazari Court) and one Abhishek.

However, he had gone missing thereafter.

On January 26, Abhishek, 19, was arrested by the police from Jawahar Camp in Narela in Delhi, after which he informed that Vikas had called him on January 22 and asked him to along for a wedding function in Sonipat.

According to Abhishek, Vikas told him that Lakshya had taken a loan from him and misbehaved with him on being asked to return the sum.

Thus, they had planned to murder him.

Thereafter, while returning from the wedding function in the early hours of January 23, they pushed Lakshya into a canal near Panipat and drove away.
