New Delhi: Vikram Singh Chauhan, one of the lawyers involved in two incidents of violence at the Patiala House court complex last week, was arrested by the Delhi Police on Wednesday.
Chauhan was called by the police last Thursday for questioning on the riots at the Patiala House court hearing on the case of Kanhaiya Kumar, the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) student arrested on sedition charges.
Two other lawyers, Yashpal Singh and Om Sharma, who was caught on camera attacking teachers, students and journalists at the court hearing in the JNU case in Delhi last week, was arrested and released by the police on bail on Tuesday.
Asserting that there was no pressure on him whatsoever, Vikram Chauhan, said that he was innocent and had acted as a true Indian.
"There is absolutely no pressure on me. I am common man and I do not represent anyone. The media is trying to portray me as a goon. I am an Indian and if praising Mother India and saying 'Vande Matram' makes me a goon then so be it. Yes there are allegations against me but I'm sure I will be vindicated," Chauhan said.
He added that the tape where he is seen thrashing students was completely 'fabricated' and stated that he believed in the law and order to vindicate him.
"There are footages going around which are fabricated. When my video showed up, they believed it without blinking an eye. I have full faith in the law and order or else I would not have showed up here," Chauhan said outside the Tilak Marg Police Station here where he appeared.
Reiterating that he was innocent, he added that unlike the 'accused' in the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) case, he had not spoken anything against the nation.
