No Action Yet Against Delhi Lawyer Seen Beating Up Man At Patiala House Court

No Action Yet Against Delhi Lawyer Seen Beating Up Man At Patiala House Court
Twitter/kapsology

No action has been taken against a Delhi lawyer photographed beating up a man at the premises of the Patiala House Court yesterday during the hearing of Jawaharlal Nehru University students' union leader Kanhaiya Kumar's sedition case.

Chauhan told NDTV on Tuesday that he did in fact arrange a protest against "anti-nationals", after photos emerged of him and his colleagues pummelling a man at the court. But the lawyer claimed that students from JNU were the first to start the fight.

"We asked them to vacate seats for elderly lawyers. They asked me for my I-card. I said you want to divide Kashmir and Kerala, they said they were never a part of India," he said.

They (JNU students and teachers) had taken up all seats in court, refused to vacate for elderly lawyers: Lawyer Vikram Singh Chauhan to NDTV

They are not only roaming free but have also shown no regret for their action. Sharma brazenly told reporters that he would not hesitate to shoot any person who insulted India.

Chauhan's Facebook page is full of his photos with leaders from BJP and various events of the ruling party that is spearheading the campaign against those who supposedly raised anti-India slogans at the university last week. The police have booked two persons -- Kumar and former Delhi University professor SAR Geelani -- on sedition charges.

NDTV said Chauhan denied any political allegiance but "he regularly sends out invitations on WhatsApp to BJP events".

It evoked strong reactions from users on Twitter.
