Chikkamagaluru: Lawyers staged a protest in front of the police station here late last night alleging that police assaulted one of their colleagues.
The lawyer, Preetham claimed that he was pulled by cops for not wearing a helmet while riding his bike. The cops assaulted him when he refused to pay the fine and snatched his bike key. He was also taken to the police station, he alleged.
