Singh’s killing sparks calls for greater protection of lawyers

At­tor­ney Tara­dath Singh, who sur­vived a mur­der at­tempt out­side his Ch­agua­nas home last month, was shot dead on Tues­day, af­ter warn­ings from friends to avoid pre­dictable move­ments and be more cau­tious about his sur­round­ings.

Singh’s friend and col­league John­ny Abra­ham, who now heads the Na­tion­al Op­er­a­tions Cen­tre, yes­ter­day told Guardian Me­dia he had ad­vised Singh to lie low and take pre­cau­tions.

“I ad­vised him to be very cau­tious for the next month and a half or two months and change up your rou­tine. You don’t have to go to the gym. Be care­ful how you’re com­ing home; if any­body’s fol­low­ing you, make sure you know your sur­round­ings and so on,” Abra­ham said.
