Cops and lawyers clash at Delhi’s Tis Hazari court, police van set on fire

A scuffle broke out between police and lawyers at north Delhi’s Tis Hazari Court on Friday afternoon and soon escalated into a full-blown clash during which a police van was set ablaze and people were injured.

The lawyers
also accused the police of firing at them, but the police are yet to respond to
the allegation. While the initial reports said that a parking dispute activated
 the clash, there was no confirmation
from the police.

The
situation at the spot is tense and the police have locked a few gates to
prevent anyone from entering the premises.
