An AISF leader and an advocate have also alleged that they were thrashed by a group of persons in the Patiala House court premises when they had gone there to attend the hearing of sedition case against JNUSU President Kanhaiya Kumar.
All India Students Federation General Secretary Wishwajeet Kumar, 33, lodged his complaint at the Tilak Nagar Police Station, saying, he was "thrashed" by a "group of 20-30 persons".
"I saw a man in advocate's uniform, who was abusing and accusing JNU persons, calling them anti-nationals. When I reached there, a group of 20-30 persons led by 2-3 others started calling me names and thrashed me, as they took me for a student of JNU," Kumar said in his complaint.
Kumar was also taken for a medical examination along with two journalists to the RML Hospital.
Advocate Amit Srivastava also alleged that he was thrashed in court premises, and lodged a complaint with the police.
At around 3.40 pm I saw some advocates raising slogans and badly beating a man. When I tried to stop them and record the incident, I was also thrashed," Srivastava said in his complaint, adding, he recognised some of his attackers.
Police said that it was looking through all the complaints including those of the nine journalists and that it will take proper action as per the law.
Violence broke out at the court complex when groups of lawyers allegedly attacked journalists, students and teachers of JNU and in and outside it, dubbing them as anti-nationals in the wake of a raging row over the arrest of Kanhaiya.
