In a significant development, the Coordination Committee of all District Court Bar Associations in Delhi called off a planned protest following rapid police action over alleged derogatory remarks against lawyers.
The controversy erupted after a video circulated showing police at Sagarpur allegedly using unprofessional language towards the legal community. In response, police authorities met with the committee at Patiala House, leading to immediate disciplinary measures.
The measures included a vigilance enquiry, suspension of a woman sub-inspector, and the transfer of another officer. The planned protest on February 6 was subsequently canceled as police pledged to sensitize officials.
