Chennai: The Bar Council has reportedly banned six advocates from practicing after a CCTV footage of two groups of lawyers attacking each other went viral.
Police said that the clash was a fall out of a six-month-old dispute over laying of a road on the fourth lane of Naidu Street in Kotturpuram.
Police said that the Corporation was making steps to lay a concrete road on the lane, but one of the residents, a lawyer, opposed to it claiming it would lead to flooding of his house during monsoon.
There is a complaint pending in this regard in Kotturpuram police station, it is said. It is also learnt that both parties agreed to sort out the problem at the court.
