The lawyer representing the victim in the now infamous 'My father is Li Gang ' traffic fatality was asked by his employer to drop the case, as pressure continues to mount on the victim's family.
Chen Lin, the victim's brother, said his family had been approached by police officers who refused to show their identities on Monday, demanding a second autopsy of his younger sister, Chen Xiaofeng .
She was allegedly run over and killed by Li Qiming, a district police deputy chief's son who was drink-driving, on the Hebei University campus in Baoding, on the night of October 16.
Li sparked outrage across the mainland when he brushed off witnesses' accusations by saying, 'My father is Li Gang'.
After Chen rejected the policemen's demand, the officers said the only option left was for the family to accept compensation. However, they did not say whether accepting compensation would bring a halt to the criminal investigation of the case, which has caused a national outcry.
Nor did they specify whether the compensation would be paid by Li Gang's family.
