Five lawyers have been charged with rioting after a judge in India was attacked inside his courtroom.

Additional District Judge Pankaj Gupta, who presides over a family court in Rohini, in Delhi, was forced against a wall and beaten up after he asked one lawyer not to interrupt proceedings.

The lawyer left the room, returning with a group of other lawyers, according to court staff, who were also assaulted as they tried to intervene.
