On Monday, attorneys practicing at Delhi’s Rohini Courts walked out in unison, refusing to attend any scheduled matters. The Rohini Court Bar Association announced a day‑long strike, citing the alleged assault on Advocate Kamaldeep at the Mahendra Park police station.

Allegations of Misconduct at Mahendra Park Police Station

According to the advocate, on 29 September he was subjected to verbal harassment and physical aggression inside the Mahendra Park precinct. The bar’s executive committee swiftly raised the issue with senior police officials, including the Joint Commissioner of Police and the DCP of the North‑West district, and also informed the Principal District and Sessions Judge.

Bar Accuses Police of Retracting Prior Assurance

The association initially received a verbal promise that the officers involved would be disciplined. Instead, the lawyers claim, a case was lodged against Kamaldeep, and senior police officers failed to disclose this development to the bar’s executive committee, violating the earlier assurances.

Police Prohibited from Entering Court Complex

In protest, the bar has barred all police personnel—irrespective of jurisdiction—from accessing the Rohini Court complex, including the Nayab Court, for the entire day of 5 October.

Call for Unity Among Lawyers

The association urged its members to stand together during the boycott, stressing that the dignity, safety, and professional independence of the legal community must be protected. Any attempts to intimidate lawyers will be met with lawful resistance.

The standoff underscores an escalating tension between the Rohini Court Bar Association and police authorities over the handling of the September 29 incident. Further updates will follow as the matter proceeds through the appropriate channels.
