The agitating lawyers were only a small group of persons. The police should have easily controlled them. However the situation was made worse by the police personnel who engaged in vandalism by ransacking the vehicles, lathicharging innocent people, etc. As a matter of fact the police entered court halls, advocate chambers, and advocates' offices situate opposite the High Court campus without any authority. This is for sure a indelible shame on the judiciary. Who had given the green signal to the police to lathi charge and ransack the High Court premises in the big question now.

I also watched it at night and this is as shameful as being raped. we are the officers of the courts as well as on eof the pillars of our society and they did it infact in the HIgh Court premises. its really shameful for our governments. how could a government give permisssion for lathicharge on peaceful procession involving advocates.
but the only releiving thing is that the HC has given orders for CBI probe in the matter. lets hope for the best
