BJP CM candidate Kiran Bedi's office at Krishna Nagar office was attacked by around 150 lawyers on Monday evening. According to police, the incident took place around 4.30 p.m., when the lawyers - protesting the announcement of Bedi as the Bharatiya Janata Party's chief ministerial candidate for Delhi - marched towards her office raising slogans against her and the party.

Due to the commotion, around 25 workers inside Bedi's office came out and a heated argument ensued between the two groups that led to a clash.

Three BJP workers - Harihar, Kapil and Manoj, all in their early 30s - were injured and later hospitalised, police said.

The lawyers then entered Bedi's office and broke some furniture, a party leader said.

Police said the lawyers were protesting against Bedi ever since she was named the chief ministerial candidate, because in 1988 when she was the Delhi Police deputy commissioner, a group of protesting lawyers were caned on her orders.
