The legal fraternity of Hyderabad laid siege to the SSP Hyderabad's office in protest on Tuesday in reaction to registration of an FIR against a lawyer.
The Hyderabad District Bar Association (HDBA) contended that Advocate Ali Raza Bozdar's car has been wrongly named in the FIR for using police siren, fancy number plates and black tinted glasses.
The bar called for appointing an office of a rank not below DSP to conduct an impartial probe.
On Tuesday, dozens of lawyers reached the office of SSP Farrukh Ali Lanjar in the afternoon, seeking a meeting with him to persuade him to direct his subordinate cops to back-off from the case.
However, Lanjar reportedly evaded a meeting with the lawyers. Consequently, the protest continued till the filing of this report with the lawyers resorting to the demand of his immediate removal from Hyderabad.
In a statement issued on Tuesday evening, the Hyderabad police claimed that they have registered about 50 FIRs on the vehicles and their owners using police lights and sirens, black windows and fancy number plates.
