AGRA: A 38-year-old lawyer, Darvesh Yadav , who had been elected the first woman chairperson of Bar Council of UP just three days ago, was shot by another lawyer, Manish Sharma, inside Agra district court premises on Wednesday. Sharma also shot himself and is battling for life.The incident took place around 2:30 pm on Wednesday when Darvesh was felicitated by Agra's lawyer fraternity for getting elected to the coveted post. According to eye-witnesses, Sharma, who shared office with Darvesh in Agra district court and had close ties with her for over a decade, pumped three bullets from his licensed pistol into Darvesh head, chest and stomach while standing at the entrance door of advocate Arvind Kumar Mishra’s chamber inside court premises.Later in the evening, Darvesh's nephew Sunny Yadav lodged an FIR in which he named Manish, his wife Vandana and another advocate Vineet Gulecha. The three have been booked for murder, criminal conspiracy and criminal intimidation.“My aunt Darvesh Singh Yadav was sitting at advocate Arvind Kumar Mishra’s chamber when accused Manish Sharma came with his pistol and fired shot at her and another relative Manoj Kumar. While Kumar escaped the bullet, Darvesh suffered three hits. Later, Manish shot himself with the same weapon,” the FIR says. Meanwhile, CM Yogi Adityanath has directed Agra DM and SSP to investigate the reason for the incident. He also asked law minister Brijesh Pathak to visit Agra to inquire about it.In the bar council election held in Allahabad on Sunday, Darvesh had a tie with Hari Shankar Singh for the chairperson's seat. It was then decided that the two would hold the post for a period of six months each. Darvesh had the first go at the post to become the first woman chairperson of UP Bar Council . She came back to Agra on Wednesday to celebrate her win when she was shot.After completing LLB from Agra university, Darvesh, a native of Etah, had started practising at Agra court in 2004. Lawyers at Agra court reveal that Sharma was be biggest supporter of Darvesh and campaigned for her in the bar council election and are too shocked to explain the reason for his extreme act.The FIR lodged by Darvesh's nephew, however, says: “Earlier, Manish Sharma’s wife Vandana Sharma had threatened to kill my aunty and told her not to ask for money, car or jewellery which she (Darvesh) had given to him. The accused Manish had also encroached upon my aunt’s chamber in Agra court. Under a criminal conspiracy, prior to welcoming Darvesh in court premises, advocate Vineet Gulecha brought Manish Sharma to kill my aunt.”Speaking to TOI, the Sunny, who is also pursuing career in law, said, “Due to jealousy, advocate Manish, his wife Vandana and advocated Vineet Gulecha killed my aunt. My aunt was good woman, who helped Manish to grow in his career. He was mere a clerk, but my aunt helped him financially every time he needed help.”.Speaking to TOI, advocate Abhishek Yadav, whose office is opposite the chamber where the crime took place, said, “A heated argument had broken out inside Mishra’s chamber between Darvesh and Manish. The argument was witnessed by at least six to seven person. Seconds later, Manish came out of Mishra’s chamber and took out his weapon to load bullets. He went back and stood at entrance of chamber and fired three shots at Darvesh. The fourth bullet he shot himself in head.”A senior lawyer said, “Darvesh was inside Agra court premises since 8.30 am on Wednesday and was been congratulated and greeted by scores of advocates. At around 2:15 pm, she reached advocate Arvind Kumar Mishra’s chamber along with Manish and other supporters when the incident happened.”Arvind Kumar Mishra is former legal adviser to Uttar Pradesh governor B L Joshi. Several attempts were made to contact advocate Mishra to get exact sequence of event and reason for the rift between Darvesh and Manish, but he did not respond.Durgvijay Singh Bhaiya, the former general secretary of Agra greater bar association said, “We are shocked. Darvesh and Manish had cordial relation for several years. Can’t understand how could Manish shoot his colleague.”Ajay Kaushal, station house officer of New Agra, told TOI, “Darvesh's body has been sent for autopsy, while Manish who shot himself in head has been refereed to Medanta hospital in Gurgaon."
