An advocate practising at Saket court was allegedly attacked with sticks and rods by a group of people over a property dispute in Mehrauli, south Delhi, according to police on Tuesday. Five individuals were arrested in connection with the incident.
The advocate, 58-year-old Rambabu Sisodia, sustained multiple injuries during the assault, which occurred on Monday evening in Lado Sarai village, Mehrauli. He was later hospitalised, Delhi police added.
A video of the incident surfaced on social media, showing two men being beaten by a group with sticks and rods.
Sisodia informed the police that he had rented his property, which included a room and a small nursery, to Rajeev Gupta in Lado Sarai. However, despite numerous attempts to resolve the issue, Gupta refused to vacate the premises.
On Monday, Sisodia and his friends went to discuss the matter with Gupta near his property. However, Gupta and his associates allegedly attacked them.
