Protests outside lawyer's house after he offers to defend Ajmal

MUMBAI: A mob protested outside advocate K B N Lam's south Mumbai residence on Wednesday after he offered to defend Mohammad Ajmal Amir Iman, the lone terrorist caught in the recent terror attack here.
    
A mob, suspected to be Shiv Sainiks, started protesting outside Lam's house in Breach Candy, shouting slogans and holding posters against the lawyer, police officials said.
    
Lam, who has been a barrister at London's Lincoln Inn, had said a few days back offered to appear for Ajmal stating that every accused has the right to be defended.
    
Last week, a similar protest targeted senior criminal lawyer Ashok Sarogi who had said he was approached to appear for Ajmal and that he will take a decision on it within few days.
    
However, a few hours later, Sarogi had said he would not be appearing for the terrorist citing ethical constraints.
