Lawyers across the city are on a 'pen down' strike on Wednesday to protest against a policeman assaulting one of them on Sunday at a police station. The furious lawyers decided to take this step as there was no FIR filed against the cop for his actions.

Advocate Dilip Gupta was allegedly assaulted by sub-inspector Sajjan Landge for asking details about a murder case. After the assault, Gupta was kept at the police station until a few lawyers came in. They demanded that action be taken against Landge and an FIR be filed, but only a non-cognisable complaint was taken down.
