Cuttack: The agitating lawyers will stage demonstration against police excesses in front of government offices here on Tuesday.

“Besides staging protests before government offices, we have decided to gherao Naveen Niwas in Bhubaneswar on September 27 to press for our demand,” said Orissa High Court Bar Association president Srikant Nayak.

On August 30, members of the association had resorted to a cease-work agitation protesting against the alleged assault on a lawyer at Nua Bazaar here.

The Commissionerate Police had suspended three personnel, including two constables and a havildar, in connection with the incident the same day.

Members of Bhubaneswar Bar Association had also staged a road blockade by burning tyres in front of the SDJM court here, disrupting vehicular movement on Bhubaneswar-Puri road demanding immediate action against the police personnel.

The Cuttack Bar Association members too had followed suit. A group of agitating lawyers had allegedly set a PCR van on fire during the agitation in front of the RDC office in Cuttack.
