Scores of lawyers, including Vikram Singh Chauhan and others who beat up journalists and JNUSU leader Kanhaiya Kumar in a Delhi court complex, today took out a protest march here against those indulging in "anti-national" acts.
Clashes between rival student groups in Jaipur and police action in Hyderabad where several people were detained marked the protests in other cities.
In the national capital, the lawyers, mostly from Patiala House and several other district courts, marched around the India Gate circle, shouting slogans and waving the tricolour, amid heavy police security. They were demanding action against those "indulging" in "anti-India" activities.
Some of the lawyers, including Chauhan, who were caught on camera leading brazen assaults on journalists and JNU students in Patiala House courts, on Monday and Wednesday were part of the protest and appeared to be unfazed by the outrage over their actions.
Chauhan's colleagues told the media that the lawyers did not indulge in violence against anyone, including journalists.
Three lawyers, including Chauhan, have been summoned by Delhi Police in connection with Monday's attack but they are yet to appear before it.
Members of ABVP, a RSS student wing, and Congress' student wing NSUI clashed during their protests over the JNU row outside Rajasthan University campus in Jaipur.
The groups of students clashed at the main gate of the University. They were holding their respective protests and demonstration on the JNU issue when the incident occurred, Deputy Commissioner of Police (East) K Rastradeep said.
