Defending the policemen she said, when police men and women perform their duty fairly, firmly, fearlessly and responsibly, they need to be protected by their seniors…it is their duty to ensure no one is prejudged and humiliated for doing their bonafide duty.
We need a decisive force for all round protection, she said.
Bedi said that she faced a similar situation in January 1988 when a lawyer arrested for theft in St. Stephen's college was brought to the Tis Hazari court in handcuffs.
"But I remained firm and refused to budge to the demand of the lawyers seeking suspension/arrest of the cops responsible for hand cuffing the advocate," she told news agency PTI, adding that the person did not identify himself as an advocate at the time of his arrest and also gave a different name to the police.
