In addition to government-appointed prosecutors, five experienced and senior criminal lawyers will be engaged to handle the high-profile case.
According to official sources, a shortlist of seven to eight senior advocates has already been prepared. From this list, the state cabinet is expected to select five lawyers during its meeting scheduled for 9th January.
