Delhi cops beaten up outside Saket court, two held

DCP (South) Atul Kumar Thakur said Sejwal, a lawyer, called the other accused to meet him at the lawyers chamber where they allegedly consumed liquor. “We got a call at 9.20 pm about a fight outside the court. A police team found constable Hitesh and ASI Kailash injured. ”

Hitesh told the team that around 8.30 pm, the court guards stopped a car from entering the court complex. “The occupants of the car got into a heated argument with the guards. Hitesh was called to resolve the issue. The men told him they had come to meet an advocate in the lawyer’s chamber. Hitesh let the men go and told the guards to make an entry in the register,” said police.

Half-an-hour later, they returned with Sejwal, who was sitting in the back. “Sejwal was allegedly drunk. He stepped out of the car and began hitting Hitesh, who then called his senior, ASI Kailash. Kailash tried to pacify the accused, but they hit and pushed him too. Kailash fell and his glasses and phone got damaged. The accused took the phone and fled,” said a senior police officer.
