What Led to the Clash?
According to reports, the dispute began over a client—a truck driver whose vehicle had been seized by the sales tax team. Two advocates, both vying to represent the driver, engaged in a heated argument that soon turned physical.

The situation escalated when the female lawyer was seen grabbing a man by his collar and slapping him. This provoked the man, who retaliated by assaulting her. Her husband tried to step in to rescue her but was also attacked by the man’s associates, who grabbed him by the neck and thrashed him.
