Nagpur: Advocate Chandrashekhar Sharma was allegedly assaulted by a group of 10–12 individuals in Hudkeshwar on the night of June 10, in what police are now investigating as a premeditated attack. CCTV footage of the incident has surfaced and is playing a key role in the ongoing probe.
The sequence of events reportedly began with a noise complaint related to DJ music lodged on June 1. Nine days later, tensions escalated when Akshay Matkar, an associate of local resident Leena Raghorte, allegedly misbehaved with a minor girl from the complainant’s family. CCTV footage purportedly shows the incident, and the family sought legal support from Advocate Sharma.

According to reports, Sharma contacted police through Emergency Number 112. The police then called both parties to the station to resolve the issue. No FIR was filed at that time.
Later that night, Sharma and the victim’s family were allegedly attacked by a group near their residence. Sharma was reportedly dragged into the street and beaten with sticks and stones. The attackers allegedly took his phone, cash, and spectacles. Another CCTV clip captured the assault, which has since been submitted as evidence.
Subsequently, a cross-complaint was filed by Leena Raghorte against Sharma. Based on this complaint, police registered an FIR against the lawyer. Sharma’s complaint was recorded later, after CCTV footage was presented.
Preliminary findings indicate that Raghorte may have been running an unrecognized school with over 50 children enrolled. Advocate Sharma has also submitted audio recordings to the police, alleging attempts of blackmail by Raghorte over the past year.
Hudkeshwar Police have registered the case and confirmed that investigations are ongoing. The authorities have not yet commented on the delay in registering Sharma’s complaint or the nature of the counter-FIR.
The incident has drawn attention from the legal community and civil society, who are closely monitoring the case’s progress.
