Renowned Bengaluru-based advocate Anees Ali Khan passed away Saturday following a cardiac arrest.

Adv Anees Ali Khan was said to be suffering from kidney ailments for a while. He passed away while he was being taken to a hospital. He is survived by his wife and three children.

Widely regarded as one of the best criminal lawyers in the city, Adv Anees was one of the counsels for the accused in the Bengaluru riots case in which over a dozen people were arrested under UAPA.

He was on the board of many community-based organisations and had recently joined the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). He was the Organising Secretary of AAP in Bengaluru.

Condoling his passing away, human rights organisation, NCHRO said, “At the time, where Bar Associations influenced by communal elements passed resolution not to represent some of the accused, he dared to represent the innocents, won reversals, or release in fabricated terror cases.”
