			'''Legal Career'''

			Shankar Chakravorty is a very successful trial lawyer. He was appointed Special Public Prosecutor in the Rainagar multiple murder case.[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=B1K4ERuGVKg] The incident happened on July 31, 1987 at Rainagar village near Balurghat town. Incidentally, the district court awarded death penalty to the perpetrators. This was later upheld by the High Court. [https://www.telegraphindia.com/west-bengal/13-years-after-the-last-hanging-where-were-the-activists-then-asks-mother/cid/728292] [https://www.telegraphindia.com/west-bengal/mother-cries-for-hanged-son/cid/728315]

			As a lawyer, Shankar Chakravorty was actively associated with a case in which Mamata Banerjee herself appeared as a lawyer in Balurghat Court in order to get bail for a group of students who were detained by the police. Mamata Banerjee, Shankar Chakravorty, Biplab Mitra, Subash Chaki(Lawyer and Politician) and a few other lawyers were instrumental in this case where the students were finally granted bail by the Honourable Court. Mamata Banerjee has chronicled this whole incident in her book 'Upalabdhi'. [https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/46200218-upalabdhi].
