Three young men, members of the hithertoo little known Bhagat Singh Kranti Sena shone to news by attacking lawyer Prashant Bhushan in his chambers at the Supreme Court when Bhsuhan was giving an interview to news channel Times Now. Bhushan was beaten up in front of the television cameras. One of the attackers who was subsequently placed under arrest, said that the attack was motivated by comments Bhushan had made in Varanasi relating to the possibility of holding a referendum in Jammu and Kashmir.

Bhagat Singh Kranti Sena claimed responsibility for the attack on their Facebook page, stating “we hit prashant bhushan hard in his chamber in supreme court. if u will try to break my nation, i will break ur heads”. A post six hours earlier, read “God give us power to complete our mission.”

The Facebook description of “Bhagat Singh Kranti Sena” reads the following, “A team of guys who are crazy for nation, those who can do anything for Nation.
