On Wednesday, Congress had demanded immediate removal of Delhi Police Commissioner BS Bassi after the scuffle outside Patiala House Court complex for the second time in a week. Citing the attacks in Patiala House court, Congress on Wednesday had alleged that ‘jungle raj’ is prevailing in Delhi. JNU students union leader Kanhaiya Kumar and some journalists were attacked in the court complex by rowdy lawyers on Wednesday. Despite instructions by the apex court to ensure security at the Patiala House Court, where violent men in black robes had attacked journalists on Monday, Delhi Police failed to prevent the attack on Kumar, who has been accused of sedition. On Monday too, journalists were attacked by such elements. The Congress vice-president had led protests over the Rohith Vemula issue in Hyderabad and also the FTII students agitation in Pune. PTI
