New Delhi: In a sting operation aired by a news channel, three lawyers accused in last week’s court violence are heard bragging that they thrashed JNU student Kanhaiya Kumar for three hours while he was in police custody.
In the secretly filmed video broadcast on the channel India Today on Monday, the lawyers purportedly also claim they beat Kanhaiya Kumar so hard that he “wet his pants”.
The Supreme Court today agreed to hear a petition that seeks action based on the TV sting that purportedly features Vikram Singh Chauhan, Yashpal Singh and Om Sharma - the most prominent of the lawyers involved in the assault on JNU students, teachers and journalists last week.
Yashpal Singh is heard declaring that he would refuse bail in court just so that he could go to jail and beat up Kanhaiya Kumar again. The lawyers also appear to claim that the police told them that “had it not been for their uniform, they would have joined us.”
The police had issued notices to the three lawyers after the court attacks. Om Sharma turned himself in and was arrested. The other two are yet to appear before the police.
