Last time a similar incident took place was in 1988 when then deputy commissioner of Delhi Police Kiran Bedi had staunchly defended police lathi-charge on lawyers.
Senior officials said the protest showed that Delhi Police’s top leadership failed to handle the situation, and added that a disciplined force couldn’t be allowed to develop a mob mentality.
Former IPS officer Kiran Bedi has nothing to do with the Delhi Police-versus-lawyers incident, but her face was used prominently in the protests by police personnel.
Delhi Police personnel on unprecedented protest Tuesday against incidents of assault by lawyers say “something must have gone extremely wrong” if the protectors want protection.
The report contains details of the circumstances leading to Saturday's incident that left at least 20 security personnel and several advocates injured.
