High drama prevailed at the district court complex in Sector 17 when the Jammu and Kashmir Police arrested a resident of Mohali from the court corridor. The accused, Jagtar Singh had been booked by the J&K Police for alleged fraud of Rs 6.5 lakh.

The situation turned sour when the advocates started to oppose his arrest by police officials in civil dress and in the court premises.
