The case hit the headlines when the Delhi High Court took an administrative decision to suspend judicial officer Sanjeev Kumar Singh, and initiated a disciplinary probe against him and another district court judge.
This was after it was alleged that the two judicial officers had allegedly pressured the complainant to withdraw the case against the rape accused lawyer.
The complainant woman had filed an FIR in June 2025 at Neb Sarai Police Station, accusing the 51-year-old lawyer of rape, criminal intimidation and assault.
She alleged that the accused, a widower, forced himself on her several times over five years under the pretext of marriage and that she became pregnant earlier this year.
According to the prosecution, the accused took her to a hospital for an abortion and later assaulted her at a country club in South Delhi, where CCTV footage reportedly captured parts of the altercation.
