Lawyers protested the beating of advocate Rakesh Rawal at Jahangirabad police station in Bhopal, leading to the suspension of three officers, including TI Rajan Singh Ahirwar.
Bhopal police officials faced disciplinary action after a lawyer alleged he was assaulted inside the Jahangirabad police station. Advocate Rakesh Rawal claimed that he was physically attacked by on‑duty officers, prompting a group of lawyers to stage a sit‑in at the station and later at the district court.
The protest continued through the night, drawing attention from local media and civic groups. In response, senior police officials ordered an inquiry and suspended three constables, among them Traffic Inspector Rajan Singh Ahirwar, pending further investigation.
An FIR has been lodged against the three suspended officers as well as the complainant lawyer, indicating that the matter will be examined by the judicial system. The police department has pledged to cooperate fully with the inquiry to restore public confidence.
The incident has sparked a broader debate on police conduct and the safety of legal practitioners in Madhya Pradesh, with several bar associations calling for stricter oversight.
Authorities have not yet released the final report of the internal probe, but the suspension remains in effect as the case proceeds through the legal channels.
