Lawyer found dead in court premises

The lawyer, Rajeev Sharma, was found near an eatery in T-Block lawyers' chamber of the premises.

"Prima facie it seems that Sharma was murdered by using a sharp weapon," a police official said.

The wound on Sharma's head led police to suspect a probable scuffle preceding his death.
