India, Nov. 14 -- Lawyers in various districts of Punjab suspended work in courts on Thursday in solidarity with a Muktsar-based lawyer, Harmandeep Singh Sandhu, who has reportedly sustained multiple injuries in a clash on October 29.

President of the Muktsar Bar Association Dhalwant Singh Uppal said that Sandhu was framed due to political interference.

"Bar associations across the state have proceeded on a two-day work suspension from today. Muktsar district police worked under political pressure and invoked wrong sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) to harass Sandhu," said Uppal.

Lawyers said Sandhu suffered injuries when he was attacked by another group at their native village Jawahrewala in Muktsar district.
