Another video viral on Tis Hazari clash
Days after lawyers and police clashed at the Delhi’s Tis Hazari Court complex, a purported video of the incident went viral on social media on Friday in which the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), North, Monika Bhardwaj can be seen pleading to a group of lawyers to not indulge in violence.
In the video which surfaced online on Friday, the woman police officer can be seen pleading with folded hands to the lawyers while her team is seen trying to control the situation before getting overpowered by them.
The lawyers can be seen pushing and shoving away the woman police officer and her team. In the background, burning vehicles can be seen.
Both the National Commission for Women (NCW) and Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) on Friday sought an immediate probe into the alleged attack on a senior woman police officer.
Meanwhile, lawyers at all the six district courts here continued to boycott work for the 5th consecutive day on Friday with advocates and personnel staff of the bar associations doing the security checks of the people entering the premises.
The Bar associations of district courts said the situation is calm in all district courts but lawyers are continuing to observe complete strike in the national capital following clashes with the police.
“Normalcy has returned in all the courts. Lawyers are observing full strike though. We have deployed two lawyers and two members of the personal staff of the Bar to look after the security of the court’s premises,” said Jaiveer Singh Chauhan, Secretary of Delhi Bar Association of Tis Hazari court.
