A day after the Maharashtra Police arrested 18 more people in connection to the Palghar lynching case, one of the lawyers who was handling the case was killed in a car accident.
Advocate Digvijay Trivedi, who was a part of the legal team representing the VHP sadhus killed in last month’s mob lynching case, was on Wednesday morning travelling with co-counsel Preeti Trivedi in a car on Mumbai-Ahmedabad national highway (NH 48) when the incident took place.
Digvijay was killed on the spot, while his colleague Preeti Trivedi was taken to the nearby hospital in critical condition.
Speculations were that it could be a premeditated attack. The VHP has reportedly demanded CID to probe into the matter. Further investigation is underway.
