His gym membership plummeted for taking a stand. Now, ‘Mohammad’ Deepak gets some help from 15 Supreme Court Senior Advocates
The legal fraternity has stepped in to save ‘Mohammad’ Deepak’s gym in Kotdwar following a dip in membership and revenue. Following The Indian Express report on the collapse of Hulk Gym’s membership from 150 to 15 members, the legal fraternity, comprising 15 Senior Advocates of the Supreme Court, has stepped up to help sustain Deepak Kumar’s livelihood. The dip in gym membership meant Kumar was struggling to pay the monthly rent of Rs 40,000 for the establishment, and the loan he borrowed to build a house. Following the report, the Senior Advocates have pitched in Rs 10,000 each as a one-year membership fee. The senior advocate who led the drive told The Indian Express that he spoke to Deepak, who expressed an inability to accept money.
