Justice Denied: Lawyer Claims Political Cover-Up in Badlapur Gunning Down

Lawyer Asim Sarode decried the killing of Akshay Shinde, accused of sexually assaulting two minors, as a 'killing of justice.' Shinde was shot dead by police near Mumbra Bypass after allegedly snatching a gun from an officer. Sarode calls for a thorough investigation, suggesting political motives behind the killing.

In a case that has drawn considerable attention, lawyer Asim Sarode has labeled the gunning down of Akshay Shinde as a 'killing of justice.' Shinde, accused of sexually assaulting two minor girls, was fatally shot by police at Mumbra Bypass on Monday.

Authorities claim Shinde snatched an officer's firearm while being transported in a police vehicle, leading to a subsequent shootout where another officer shot him dead. The incident has raised questions, particularly from Sarode, who represents the minor girls.

'Shinde's death in this manner is a clear case of political murder,' Sarode told regional media. He emphasizes the need for a thorough inquiry into the events, suggesting that Shinde's death benefits local political interests and undermines public confidence in the justice system.
