Speed News Desk | Updated on: 14 February 2017, 5:41 IST

In another brazen display of disregard for the law, lawyers at the Patiala House Court clashed with Jawaharlal Nehru University students. JNUSU President Kanhaiya Kumar, charged with sedition, makes his second appearance before the court today.

Raising 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' and 'Vande Mataram' slogans, the lawyers waved the national flag. There were over 50 lawyers present on the court premises. Some of these lawyers were seen beating up students. BJP legal cell member Vikram Chauhan was leading the protests.

A reporter with Catch was approached by a lawyer and questioned if he was a JNU student. Some lawyers, however, claimed that outsiders had entered the court wearing black coats.

A Firstpost journalist was also beaten up by the lawyers.
