Journalists stage protest against lawyers in Kochi

Kerala Union of Working Journalists today organised a march protesting against some advocates who allegedly used abusive words against legal reporters at the Kerala High Court media room here.
KUWJ leader and Ernakulam Press Club president Ravikumar alleged that some advocates today hurled abusive words at legal reporters for covering a case related to an alleged attempt by a government pleader to molest a woman here last week.
A legal reporter has complained to the Acting Chief Justice about the incident in the High Court media room, Ravikumar said, after organising a march of journalists towards the High Court Advocates Association's office here.

He also alleged that some advocates tried to create trouble during the march.
The government pleader was arrested last week on the charge of allegedly attempting to molest the woman on a city lane.
Dhanesh Mathew Manjooran was apprehended on July 15 by locals after the woman raised an alarm. He is currently out on bail.
