Speaking to legally speaking , M Radha’s lawyer Rajendra Jha claimed that the accused practised with a woman lawyer and was later suspended for two years after she complained about receiving threats from him.
“Kameshwar used to practice with a woman lawyer at Patiala House Court, during which time he had illegally occupied her flat. He had threatened her many times, after which the woman complained to the Bar Council and Kameshwar was suspended for two years from September 2022,” Jha claimed.
