A video of a lawyer pulling the dupatta of a high court employee’s wife in front of gate number 8 of the Allahabad High Court has gone viral on social media on Friday. In response to this incident, the High Court Ministerial Officers Association has written a letter to the High Court Bar Association demanding action against the accused. Meanwhile, the Bar has issued a show-cause notice to the accused seeking a response.
The high court employee’s wife had come to drop her husband at the high court. While returning after dropping her husband, her scooter collided with a lawyer’s car. This led to a dispute between the two parties. A video of the dispute has gone viral on social media, showing an argument between the lawyer and the woman. During the altercation, the lawyer pushes the woman and pulls her dupatta.
