In a statement, Delhi Police said it has registered a case under Sections 186, 353, 427, 307 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) on the basis of cross FIRs lodged by the two parties.

Further investigation is being done by a Special Investigation Team of the Crime Branch, it said.

The cop who fired during the clash is still hospitalised and his statement will be recorded when he is fit to know the exact sequence of firing, the police said.

Meanwhile, Bar Council of Delhi has decided to grant Rs two lakh each to two lawyers who are currently in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and Rs 50,000 to the lawyers who sustained injuries in the clash.
