The alleged fight between lawyers and students of Maharaja’s College, including the Student Federation of India (SFI) activists, during the annual daily celebrations of the Ernakula Bar Association in Kochi on Thursday (April 10, 2025) spilled until Friday (April 11, 2025).
Students accused lawyers of throwing stones and beer bottles into the premises from the court complex, which is separated by a common compound wall. They also published a video reporting to show lawyers, some in black dresses, throwing objects that landed near the Malaysálam department. SFI activists argued that two students were injured in throwing stone who came to write exams.
However, lawyers accused students to re -start tension by throwing stones at them when lawyers emerged from an emergency meeting of the an association’s much body that was allowed to discuss the incident. The lawyers organized a protest march around the campus and allegedly led to heated exchanges and verbal abuse with students inside. The large police pose placed in this area had to intervene to divide both sides.
“A general body meeting has decided to promote accusations against the accused, including a criminal offense, attempted murder, voluntarily causing injuries to dangerous means and weapons and robbery because several lawyers stole their mobile phones on Thursday.
Keral’s Council condemned the incident and stated that the incident had raised concerns about the security and security of advocates in the courts and demanded steps to prevent such incidents in the future.
SFI claimed that 16 of its activists, including the carriers of the Maharajava Office, were injured by lawyers in the attack. Arjun TR, the district secretary of SFI, claimed that the lawyers who attacked students were in a unwilling state. “Students did not enter the association space in the court complex, as stated, but stood outside. The lawyers behaved provocatively and blowing cigarette smoke into the students’ faces before they attacked them. The students were persecuted to the entrance to the premises and beaten,” he said.
The sources of the Bar Association accused students of the arrival in large numbers and during the annual celebrations of the annual celebrations for dinner. “We did not get against it. But then they behaved badly with our members, including women, when dance events began. So we expelled them from the association premises. At the time of cultural events, about 25 SFI activists overcame our members and damaged property,” they added.
Meanwhile, another case was registered against ten persons for alleged attacks on cops and their defending their duty and trying to face the situation on Thursday midnight.
