New Delhi: Delhi Police on Saturday filed two more chargesheets in connection with the assault of JNUSU president Kanahiya Kumar and journalists in Patiala House Court.
The chargesheet has been filed against lawyers Vikram Chauhan, Yashpal Sharma and BJP MLA OP Sharma. The lawyers have been charged for rioting, criminal intimidation, unlawful assembly and causing hurt.
The chargesheet states that attack on Kanhaiya was planned and the lawyers provoked the mob to go on a rampage. The next date of hearing in the case is September 23.
Two groups of lawyers engaged in a brawl in February, 2016 outside Patiala House Court where Kanhaiya, arrested on charges of sedition, was to be produced for his remand hearing.
After a clash between the lawyers, even Kanhaiya was roughed up by lawyers before he was to be produced in court.
The police faced a lot of flak for not acting on those responsible for the scuffle and being mute spectators to the ugly scenes of violence.
