It is a known fact that nothing in life comes for free. If you buy anything or have used the services of any professional then you ought to pay for it. It is, as they say, only fair. But there does arise circumstances where one is unable to. Whether it is right or wrong and what were the situation that caused it calls for a separate debate. But perhaps we would all choose to agree that there must be a decent way one should be treated if they at all fail to pay. However, a lawyer in Rampur, Uttar Pradesh flouted all decency. According to a video shared by news agency ANI, a lawyer in the city can be seen hitting his client mercilessly after the latter allegedly failed to pay the ‘Chalan’ that was issued in his name.

Here is the tweet.
