Many litigants victim of blast outside HC

New Delhi, Sep 7 (PTI) A number of people who were at the
Delhi High Court in connection with their scheduled cases have
become victims of the blast here in which at least nine people
have been killed and 45 others injured.
Lawyer Sanjeev Beniwal, who rushed his client Mehtab
Singh (55) to the Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, could not hold
his tears back after doctors said Singh had succumbed to
injuries.
"He (Singh) was fighting a property-related case at the
court. He was getting his pass made when the blast occurred.
His son Rohit and my associate Sachin Powa have also been
injured. We rushed them to hospital and I just want them to be
safe as I could not save Singh," Beniwal, who himself got
injured in the blast, said.
RML Medical Superintendent T S Sidhu said that over a
dozen people were brought to the hospital after the blast.
Neeru Mahendra, wife of another injured Pramod
Mahendra, was seen running helter-skelter to arrange for
medical aid and other facilities for her husband at the
hospital.
"He had gone to the court as our daughter Aarti
Sabharwal is fighting a dowry case. He is injured and is in
bad shape," Mahendra said.
He was waiting for the lawyer when the blast occurred,
she said. PTI SWT
