New Delhi: A female lawyer and two activists were allegedly beaten
up by a group of persons at the Tis Hazari court here on Friday when they went
there in connection with a case filed against an advocate by a woman from
North-East alleging molestation.
The incident took place when a 38-year-old woman from Nagaland, who was
molested on Thursday night allegedly by a lawyer outside Delhi Vishwavidyalay
metro station, came to the court with her advocate and some social activists to
record her statement in connection with the incident.
A senior police official said, "We have received the case of a North
Eastern lawyer along with two others being attacked."
According to Noshi, the victim's lawyer, the accused and some of his
associates, said to be lawyers, beat them up. The crowd also followed and
threatened them.
Noshi, who practices at Saket court, said that she asked the two men
accompanying her to escape and herself took another route thinking that the
advocates following her would not harm her because she was a co-worker.
However, the group ran after her for a while after which they slapped her
and threatened her if she pursued the case further.
The police then rescued her and brought her to the police station
