EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE
NEW DELHI, Jan 15: Attorneys and Advocates Amitabha Sen and Co. will be filing a civil suit on behalf of the Artists for Empowerment, to try and get the families of the BMW victims a decent compensation. The firm has decided to fight the case free of cost. ``We will ask for damages based on the net worth of the accused, which will run into crores'' explains attorney Amitabha Sen. ``Only a huge compensation will hurt them. We are not talking in thousands here because that would not hurt them.''Sen is fighting this case free of cost. ``It is unfortunate that the accused have a battery of lawyers to defend them while the victims cannot afford a lawyer,'' Sen says. ``Top lawyers should come forward and defend them.''
