The woman is seen in the video making a phone call to her family after the scuffle broke out. She claimed that other lawyers asked her to leave the table where she was having lunch, and she vowed to take the matter to higher authorities, even stating that she's willing to die for justice. She criticized senior lawyers, alleging they lack the sense to communicate respectfully with women, and declared herself as the daughter of Delhi, asserting support from the entire city.

As the situation unfolds, another lawyer, who was recording the incident, confronts the woman. There are accusations of the other lawyer attempting to hit her with a plate, and strong words are exchanged. The lawyer filming claims to have recorded everything and accuses the woman lawyer of lying. He insists that she slapped the senior advocate without any justification. In the background, others are heard suggesting that the woman lawyer may have acted irrationally.

After the fight, the woman lawyer was taken away by her assistant. As she left the canteen, she shouted that everyone there saw what happened and knew she wasn't to blame.
