Jaipur: Clashes
between lawyers and police continued here for the second day
Thursday leaving at least 30 people, including over 20 policemen,
injured, police said.
Judicial services were crippled as the lawyers boycotted work
demanding suspension of senior police officers. They torched a
police control room vehicle while damaged about 10 cars passing
through the Banipark area, police added.
A senior police officer said that the Banipark area where the
sessions and district court buildings are located had been
barricaded following information that lawyers had gathered there
in large numbers.
The violence Thursday began after a group of lawyers torched the
temporary lock-up used for holding prisoners in the court premises
in the morning.
"The lawyers then started pelting stones on the policemen deputed
on law and order duty. They surrounded a police control room
vehicle and torched it. Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP)
Mahendra Singh and at least 20 other policemen were injured in the
stone pelting," said the officer.
However, the lawyers claimed that they were trying to hold talks
with police and alleged that the agitating lawyers were beaten up
by policemen without any provocation.
Police cordoned off the entire area and used tear gas to disperse
the scattered crowed of lawyers.
The lawyers damaged about 10 vehicles parked near the court
premises by smashing their glass windows.
Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot appealed for peace and said that
lawyers' demands will be looked into.
About two dozen people, including advocates and police officers,
were injured when clashes occurred between lawyers and police
outside the state assembly building during the ongoing budget
session Wednesday.
To draw attention to their demands, the lawyers broke security
barricades put up by the police and marched towards the assembly
building.
The demands included a residential project on subsidised rates for
lawyers, allowance of Rs.2,000 per month for lawyers with less
than five years of experience, allocation of Rs.10 crore to the
Rajasthan Lawyers' Welfare Board and the constitution of a
Lawyers' Welfare Act.
