Ludhiana Police Register Assault Case After DBA Protest, Acting on Lawyer’s Complaint

Ludhiana police have opened an assault case after a protest organized by the Dalit Badhaai Association (DBA) turned contentious. The demonstration, which took place in the city, prompted a lawyer present at the scene to lodge a formal complaint alleging physical assault. Acting on the lawyer’s grievance, the police registered a cross‑case for assault, indicating that the alleged attack was investigated as a separate criminal matter. Authorities said the filing demonstrates a swift response to complaints of violence linked to public gatherings. The case is now under investigation by the local law enforcement agency.
