SHO roughed up by lawyers in Tis Hazari

NEW DELHI: In a shocking incident, the station house officer (SHO) of the New Ashok Nagar police station was beaten up by lawyers in the Tis Hazari court complex on Monday.
The SHO, Ashok Tyagi, is currently undergoing treatment in the Hindu Rao Hospital.
The incident occurred after 12.30 pm. Tyagi had gone to the court complex to appear as a witness in a murder case, in the court of additional sessions judge Khanna, when he was reportedly attacked by over 20 persons including many lawyers.
They were accompanied by a woman, Usha, who works as a lawyer''s munshi. A case, however, has been registered only against three lawyers and Usha.
"As the SHO entered from gate 1, he was approached by Usha and the lawyers and then roughed up and beaten by them," said DCP (north) Sanjay Baniwal.
Usha is a resident of New Ashok Nagar and is involved in a property dispute there which is pending with the SDM.
"Tyagi was saved by another sub-inspector and assistant sub-inspector who saw the crowd beating him and was taken to hospital," said an officer.
A case of rioting, threatening, causing grievous hurt to a public servant and obstructing a public servant on duty has been registered against three lawyers — Ravi Chaturvedi, Bhim Singh Nagar and Ghoklesh Yadav — and Usha.
Meanwhile, Usha, too, submitted a complaint alleging misbehaviour and usage of inappropriate language against Tyagi, said the police.
