Demonstration of lawyers in the High Court complex
Earlier today, lawyers of the Punjab-Haryana High Court staged a protest in the courtyard of the High Court and demanded that the guilty police personnel be punished and that the case be investigated by an external agency or CBI-NIA. Lawyers said that the Punjab Police cannot investigate the matter impartially.

The advocates together went to the SSP office and the police station
Earlier, advocate Varinder Singh Sandhu advised the client to complain to the SSP. At the request of the client, Advocate Sandhu also went to the SSP office with him, but could not meet the SSP there. Then the client told the advocate Virender that now he will not be allowed to enter the village. In such a situation, the lawyer asked the client to file a complaint in Sadar Police Station and went with him to Sadar Police Station. After complaining there, the SHO of Thana Sadar assured them to come to the village and form a joint committee of the villagers.
