No bail for lawyer who helped Lanka gangster in Coimbatore

Madurai-based lawyer Sivakami Sundari accused of preparing fake documents to acquire Aadhar card for Sri Lankan gangster Angoda Lokka.

Coimbatore:The Chief Judicial Magistrate's court in Coimbatore has rejected the bail plea of Madurai-based lawyer Sivakami Sundari accused of preparing fake documents to acquire Aadhar card for Sri Lankan gangster Angoda Lokka.

Sundari, who is one of three people arrested for the crime, had filed the petition for conditional bail and the appeal came up for hearing before Magistrate P Sreekumar. The CB-CID, investigating the case, opposed bail claiming that Sundari would tamper with the evidence if released.

The Lankan gangster died of cardiac arrest in Coimbatore in July and the body, after postmortem, was cremated in Madurai the next day. Besides Sundari, a Lankan woman Amani Thanji and another person Dyaneshwaran were arrested on the charge of assisting Lokka in getting an aadhar card in the name of Pradeep Singh by submitting forged documents.

Investigations are on to find out whether the dead man was really Angoda Lokka.
