When clashes broke out between lawyers, cop
In 2019, a major clash broke out between Delhi Police and lawyers inside the Tis Hazari court premises following an altercation over a parking issue. At least 20 police personnel and lawyers were injured in the incident, and several vehicles were torched and damaged.
According to the lawyers, an advocate was thrashed by the police following an argument over a parking issue. They said that four other lawyers, who went to rescue the advocate, were also ill-treated by the police, following which the clashes erupted.
However, the Delhi Police said its officials had requested the advocate to park his vehicle in the designated parking as it was hindering vehicular movement, which led to an argument. Following this, a mob of lawyers arrived, and clashes erupted between them and the police after they allegedly manhandled the personnel present there.
