Lawyer injured, police vehicle torched as cops, advocates clash at Delhi's Tis Hazari Court

NEW DELHI: Lawyers and police personnel clashed at Tis Hazari Court complex here on Saturday afternoon during which a police vehicle was set afire, officials said.

Lawyers alleged that two of their colleagues were injured, including one in police firing, but the police denied that it had opened fire.
