FB page in attack link
This is the Facebook page linked to the Bhagat Singh Kranti Sena - a group that reports claim is behind the attack on Lawyer Prashant Bhushan inside his office.
The groups boasts a membership of over a thousands people and police claim the 'president' of the group has been arrested for the attack on Bhushan.
Bhushan was speaking to a TV news channel when the two youths barged into his office in the New Lawyers Chamber opposite Supreme Court this afternoon and started showering blows on him.
The lawyer was pulled out of the chair, slapped, dragged and repeatedly punched.
He was pinned down on the floor and kicked on his chest. Bhushan's shirt was ripped and and as his staff and others gathered, one of the two attackers managed to escape while another was caught by them and handed over to police.
Bhushan was later taken to the Ram Manohar Lohia hospital. The youths had entered his office claiming that they had an appointment with Bhushan, a prominent Team Anna member who is in the forefront of the fight for a strong Lokpal Bill.
After the attack, Bhushan said it appeared that the youths targeted him for his stand on Jammu and Kashmir.
"They were saying that I have made some comments on Kashmir to which they were taking objection. I have said that a referendum should be held in Kashmir," he said.
A case has been registered.
