India Bar Council Retreats After ‘Cockroach’ Protest Threat The India Bar Council abruptly ended its retreat at the Jaipur Marriott Hotel after a group of lawyers and staff threatened to release "cockroaches" on the premises, protesting poor living conditions that included dirty rooms, bathrooms, and inadequate food and water facilities.
What Happened at the India Bar Council Retreat? The retreat was intended as an opportunity for the council's members to discuss pressing issues facing the legal profession.
However, complaints about the hotel's subpar infrastructure quickly escalated into a full blown protest. Lawyers and staff demanded that hotel management take immediate action to address their concerns.
