Photo-journalist beaten, lawyers scuffle in Patiala House Court ahead of Kanhaiya Kumar's appearance

Two groups of lawyers on Wednesday scuffled within the Patiala House court complex here while opposing students of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) who have been booked on the charge of raising anti-India slogans. The showdown took place in the court premises before JNU Students Union leader Kanhaiya Kumar was to be presented in a court for hearing of the sedition case registered against him. Kumar's police custody ends on Wednesday. A section of lawyers carrying Indian flags shouted slogans like 'Bharat mata ki jai' and 'JNU murdabad'. They also shouted slogans against the JNU and demanded shutting down of the premier educational institution, terming it 'anti-national'.
