• Dacoit case

Dear sir/madam,
Some of our relatives are in police custody since past 3 months in dacaoit case.
The lawyer who is hired doesn't seem to be helping in getting them bailed.
These people bought a chawl from us and  where trying to make the family who stayed there on rent leave the house but ended up in getting stuck in dacoit case put up on them by the person to whom the chawl was given on lease few years back. The electricity bill and legal documents all show that the chawl in owned by the person who is currently there in police custody .
These people are in police custody since 3 months and we feel that the lawyer is cheating us and has been bribed by the opposition.
Please advice sir.
