On 12 October, civil liberties lawyer and Supreme Court advocate Prashant Bhushan was physically assaulted in his office. Bhushan was brutally beaten by three men who were reported to be aggravated by certain comments he had made about the state of Jammu and Kashmir.

He was thrown to the ground and then slapped, kicked and punched repeatedly by the attackers. Two men escaped while another was caught and dragged away. Bhushan blamed a right-wing group for the assault, saying they opposed his views on a referendum in Kashmir. “They were Sri Ram Sene activists,” he told the Indo-Asian News Service. “They are intolerant.”

Lalit Bhasin, the president of the Society of Indian Law Firms, expressed outrage over the attack. “We were all very disturbed over the brutal physical attack on Mr Prashant Bhushan, a very respected and eminent lawyer of the country,” he told India Business Law Journal.
