West Bengal Law Student Found Hanging in Advocate's Chamber; Lawyer Absconding
A young woman who was studying law was found dead in a lawyer's office in a town in West Bengal.
She was hanging from the ceiling.
The lawyer she was training with, Sheikh Monowar Alam, told her family about her death and then disappeared.
Her family is very sad and angry.
They believe the lawyer promised to marry her but then changed his mind, which made her very upset.
They think he might have hurt her, and they called him a murderer.
The police are looking for the lawyer and investigating everything, including what the family said.
A politician from another party said the lawyer is friends with important people in the ruling political party and that the police might not be doing a good job because of this.
The police are still trying to figure out exactly what happened.
A 21-year-old law student was found hanging in advocate Sheikh Monowar Alam's chamber in Kakdwip, West Bengal.
The advocate, Sheikh Monowar Alam, is absconding and is currently being searched for by the police.
The victim's family alleges the advocate promised marriage and then backed out, contributing to her death.
A bag containing what appears to be a love letter was recovered from the scene.
A BJP MP has alleged the advocate has ties to the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) and questioned the police investigation.
