| Arrested JNU Student Kanhaiya Kumar, Others Attacked At Delhi Court

| JNU student leader Kanhaiya Kumar, arrested on charges of sedition, was attacked today as he was brought to a Delhi court to find out if he will get bail.
Mr Kumar was brought to the court after it turned into a battle zone with a group of lawyers assaulting a student and a journalist. The police failed to intervene or control the chaos, delivering a shocking duplicate of Monday's assaults on journalists, students and teachers who had gathered at the same court.
The Supreme Court has rushed a team of lawyers including Kapil Sibal with police escort to the lower court.
"I am really shamed," said Soli Sorabjee, one of India's most eminent lawyers about the advocates who threw stones at the media and beat up a reporter. "They are goons. Lawyers don't behave this way."
Based on Monday's violence, which saw lawyers attacking the media and supporters of Mr Kumar, the Supreme Court this morning ordered very limited access to the lower court where Mr Kumar's case is being heard.
Before the hearing could begin, two groups of lawyers clashed as they shouted competing slogans supporting or deriding JNU or the prestigious Jawaharlal Nehru University.
