The Delhi High Court Wednesday directed the police to register a case over the alleged beating of an advocate in a south Delhi police station when he went there Oct 16 to record a complaint.<\/p>\n
Advocate Shreeji Bhavsar was allegedly assaulted by sub-inspector O.P. Yadav of the Sarita Vihar police station when he went there, along with other area residents, to register a complaint against an illegal demolition by a civic agency.<\/p>\n
A division bench of acting Chief Justice A.K. Sikri and Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw asked police to register a first information report over the beating, in which the advocate fractured his right thumb, besides receiving injuries on the arms.<\/p>\n
The bench also asked the Crime Branch of the police to probe the case under a joint commissioner of police.<\/p>\n
Police counsel Pawan Sharma told the bench that a sub-inspector accused of assaulting Bhavsar had already been suspended after the lawyer lodged a complaint against him.<\/p>\n
The bench fixed the next hearing on Nov 2, seeking a status report on the incident.<\/p>\n
The bench was told that the victim and five others had gone to the police station to lodge a complaint. The victim insisted the sub-inspector register a case but he refused to do so, leading to a argument between the two.<\/p>\n
The petition said that the policeman lost his temper and assaulted the lawyer.<\/p>\n
