A police car was set afire as lawyers at the Tis Hazari court complex clashed with cops in Old Delhi on Saturday afternoon.Smoke could be seen rising into the sky amid chaos on the court premises,contributing to the city's already high pollution levels.

A lawyer who was reportedly injured in police firing has been admitted to the nearby St Stephens Hospital, news agency reported.  

Sources claimed that the lawyers were angry over parking issues in the complex. They have locked themselves inside the court premises,preventing police and media persons from entering. Taking the tense situation into account, police have locked several gates leading into the court complex. 

Delhi suffers from an acute shortage of parking space, and the Supreme Court had even termed it as one of the national capital's"most serious problems" in a recent judgment. Even the mushrooming of multi-level parking facilities across its expanse over the years has failed tosuccessfully address the issue.
