Lawyer dies inside courtroom in district court in Delhi

A lawyer, who came to appear in a case before a sessions judge here, allegedly suffered a massive heart attack inside the courtroom and was later declared brought dead at a nearby hospital.
   
Minutes before his case was about to be called for hearing, Ram Lakhan Tripathi, 50, suffered a heart attack inside the courtroom of additional sessions judge Pinki at Patiala House District courts here, police sources said.
   
The lawyer, who was rushed to the Ram Manohar Lohia hospital by his colleagues at around 11:45 am, was declared brought dead, they said.

"The district courts complexes lack basic medical facilities and the lawyer died as he could not be provided with primary medical aid," a colleague said.
