The agitation was in response to an FIR lodged against five advocates at Sadar police station following an alleged scuffle on sesions court premises during a hearing three days ago. The FIR triggered outrage among lawyers, who accused police of targeting them unfairly.

A large number of advocates gathered at the court complex, claiming that police named even those who were not present during the incident.
