Kohima Bar Association accuses Nagaland police of forming an illicit nexus with advocates, violating rights to choose legal representation.

Kohima Bar Association (KBA) in Nagaland accuses police of forming an illicit nexus with advocates, compelling accused persons and families to engage pre-selected lawyers who share fees with police.

The KBA has taken up the issue with the Director General of Police and urges members to cease such practices.
