Jaiveer Singh Chauhan (secretary, Delhi Bar Association): “We had already been contemplating how to enhance security in the court premises. The call in fact made us act rapidly. After a meeting with the area police officials, Tis Hazari will now have new metal detectors, more police personnel, and many other measures in place from tomorrow.”
* S P Singh (member executive, Delhi Bar Association): “May be this was the wake-up call for officials responsible for ensuring security inside the court premises. Hoax or real, at least it would help improve the security situation.”
Piyush Prabhakar (advocate): “The court complex has metal detectors but most of them do not work properly. Moreover, no policeman is present to frisk any suspicious person. The call would certainly help bring in some effective measures.”
