Introduction: Lawyer friends of the doctors who are helping them with legal formalities are being unduly harassed, allege doctors.

After being beaten by police at Raj Bhavan, medicos have come forward to support their lawyer friends who were fighting their legal battle and were arrested. Lawyers Girish Talwar and Vijay Nair were called in at the DCP zone II office for recording their statement.

"Girish tried hard to bail the medical students out after they were arrested. The police is now targeting lawyers by harassing these two legal supporters," said one of the doctors.

Doctors say that despite the inhuman and cruel treatment meted out unto them by the police last week, they will not harbour any grudge against cops who come to them for treatment since they are in a noble profession. Said Dr Akhil Goyal, "At least, on grounds of humanity some police officer should take responsibility for the inhuman behaviour and apologise."

Goyal adds, "We are not against reservation. It is not a problem for us but it will prove to be a big problem for candidates availing the reservation quota."

Another doctor Vikrant Bhosale said, "Government must first consult those who get affected by reservation. Being in cabinet doesn't authorise anyone to take isolated decisions."

Monali Patil, another doctor, said, "In a country like our where the President loves children and has profound respect for the country, such things can happen."
