Advocate P Krishnamurthy said that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has conspired to trap advocate Sanjeev Punalekar, in the case related to the murder of rationalist Dr Narendra Dabholkar.
The advocate was addressing mediapersons in Madikeri on Thursday.
Krishnamurthy said that Punalekar’s arrest is not constitutional. “The CBI officials should act as per the constitutional provisions. If they don’t, they fail in their duties,” he said.
He meanwhile called upon the lawyers to condemn the arrest of Punalekar. Krishnamurthy stated that a plea will be submitted to the CBI special court in Pune, requesting the release of Sanjeev Punalekar.
Advocates K P Hemanth and M T Reema were present in the press meet.
