The motive, according to the police, appears to have been the failure of 45-year old lawyer Bhima Yadav to obtain an order in favour of his clients in a land dispute.
Four year relationship
Mr Yadav had been representing his clients in the case for four years. Six of his clients had been arrested recently. While he managed to get some out on bail, he did not succeed to get all out. This was the motivation for the shooting, according to a theory advanced by the police. The lawyer was at his home, said the police, when two assailants arrived on a motorbike, entered the property and shot him at close range. Source: The Indian Express
