Courtroom Chaos: Lawyers and Police Clash in Ghaziabad

A violent clash ensued in a Ghaziabad courtroom between lawyers and police after a judge summoned officers to remove protesting advocates. The situation escalated when police used batons, and advocates allegedly set a police outpost on fire. Complaints have been sent to the High Court chief justice.

In a dramatic turn of events on Tuesday, a Ghaziabad courtroom witnessed a violent confrontation between lawyers and baton-wielding police personnel. This erupted after the presiding judge called for police intervention to remove agitating advocates who were protesting a disagreement over an anticipatory bail case.

Several lawyers claimed to have sustained injuries during the police baton charge, while police officials reported that the protesting advocates set a local police outpost ablaze. The incident unfolded around 11 am in the district court complex located in the Raj Nagar area.

According to Police Commissioner Ajay Kumar Mishra, the advocates attempted to exert pressure on the district judge and even tried to assault him. The situation escalated, leading to the deployment of police forces who resorted to mild force to disperse the protestors.
