When the gym emptied, 12 senior advocates of the Supreme Court supported 'Mohammad Deepak' and helped him
In response to declining membership, approximately 12 senior advocates from the Supreme Court of India purchased gym memberships to support Deepak Kumar, the owner of Hulk Gym in Kotdwar, Uttarakhand.
In Kotdwar, Uttarakhand, the owner of Hulk Gym, Deepak Kumar, has found unexpected support from a group of roughly 12 senior advocates from the Supreme Court of India. Following a dispute that caused gym membership to plummet from over 150 to just 12-15 members, these lawyers stepped in by buying annual memberships worth 10,000 rupees each. Their intention is not only to support Deepak's business but also to provide free membership opportunities for local youths who cannot afford the fees. This act of solidarity aims to bolster the gym's membership and revive Deepak's business operations.
Deepak Kumar expressed distress over the handling of events leading to his gym's decline, which he linked to ongoing tensions started by protests on January 26 by Bajarang Dal members. The controversy surrounding a shop name has had a significant impact on Deepak’s livelihood, affecting both his emotional and financial well-being. Legal aid offers from lawyers to support Deepak and his gym further illustrate the collective effort within the legal community to stand behind him during this challenging time.
Through this initiative, the lawyers are showing their commitment not just to protect Deepak's interests but also to emphasize the role of community support and solidarity in addressing local business challenges. The situation reflects larger social dynamics and the potential impact of community action and legal support in reviving small businesses affected by external disputes.
