A man was shot at and injured and a few lawyers were hurt after two groups of advocates clashed on the Civil Court's premises here over the district bar association elections, police said today.
Both the groups lodged complaints against each other yesterday at the Kotwali police station, Station House Officer (SHO), Fateh Singh said.
He said a client of a lawyer was shot at and injured during the firing in the clash. The person was admitted to a hospital along with the other advocates who were hurt in the violence, the officer said.
Circle Officer Gajendra Singh said the case is being investigated.
The reason behind the clash could be the animosity between the groups over the elections of the district bar association, police said.
