Delhi District Courts Closed for One-Day Lawyers' Strike Over Police Intimidation Claims
All district courts in Delhi will remain closed on October 27 as lawyers stage a one-day strike protesting alleged police intimidation following an assault on advocate Lalit Bansal in Shahdara. The Co-ordination Committee of All District Courts Bar Associations of Delhi demands the immediate suspension of ACP Manasvi Vashishta and the concerned SHO pending an impartial inquiry. The strike responds to claims that the accused in the assault were released and that ACP Vashishta threatened lawyers with a revolver during their protests.
