MEERUT, May 24 -- A controversy erupted inside the Meerut court complex after a dispute over legal fees allegedly escalated into a violent assault. Following the incident, police registered a criminal case against 13 identified lawyers and nearly 60 unidentified advocates. The accused have been booked under several stringent provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), including attempt to murder, rioting, wrongful confinement, assault, and criminal intimidation. The incident reportedly took place inside the chamber of advocate Aamir Khan on Friday. According to the allegations, a client and his associates were confined, brutally assaulted, and attacked with bricks within the court premises itself. According to the FIR filed by Sher Khan, a resident of Sikheda village in Parikshitgarh, the dispute began during a discussion over advocate fees in the chamber of advocate Aamir Khan. Sher Khan alleged that his associate Fakhruddin got into an argument with his lawyer Aamir regarding payment issues and later left the chamber. However, Sher Khan, Sajid, Riaz, and one of Fakhruddin's relatives allegedly remained inside the chamber. The complainant alleged that after some time, advocate Aamir Khan returned with several associates, confined the four men inside the chamber, and locked the door from outside. The FIR alleged that more advocates were called to the spot, after which the victims were surrounded, abused, assaulted, and attacked with bricks. Sher Khan claimed the attackers repeatedly struck his head in an attempt to kill him, adding that during the assault, the accused allegedly shouted threats, saying the victims should be killed so that "they never dare to mess with lawyers again." The victims further claimed that some individuals present inside the court complex recorded videos of the incident, which later helped identify several of the accused advocates. Police rushed to the scene after receiving the information. The injured were rescued and taken to the police station before being sent for medical examination. Based on the complaint, police registered a case under BNS Sections 191(2) for rioting and violence, 115(2) for voluntarily causing hurt, 127(2) for wrongful confinement, 352 for abuse and provocation to disturb peace, 351(3) for criminal intimidation involving threats to life or grievous injury, and 109(1) relating to attempt to murder. Meanwhile, the lawyers alleged that Fakhruddin alias Fakru had a case pending with advocate Aamir Khan and that his anticipatory bail plea had recently been rejected by the court....
