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.
