A day after striking lawyers assaulted a cop quite brazenly — two days after the clashes at Tis Hazari — about 3,000 cops laid an unprecedented siege to the Delhi Police headquarters on Tuesday, leading to an 11-hour standoff. These men and women — ranging from constables to inspectors — had launched an agitation for the entire force to reclaim their dignity and demand a safe environment. Their anger against commissioner Amulya Patnaik for what they perceived as inadequate support was palpable.
