New Delhi: NEW DELHI: Clashes between the police and lawyers in Delhi over the weekend spun out of control today as hundreds of policemen held a protest outside the Delhi police headquarters, demanding justice and protection. They have refused to budge despite repeated requests from their top officers. Service rules bar policemen from holding protests; the unprecedented demonstration had the Centre on its toes and caught the attention of the courts. The Delhi High Court issued notice to the top lawyers' bodies -- the Bar Councils of India and Delhi. Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal held a meeting at his home to review the situation. The home ministry called for a report. By evening, the police from Haryana, Bihar and several other states extended support to their colleagues in Delhi.
