BCI Removes Bar Council of Delhi Vice Chairman Over Alleged Fake LL.B. Degree

In a significant development, the Bar Council of India (BCI) has suspended the Vice Chairman of the Bar Council of Delhi (BCD) over allegations of possessing a fake LL.B. degree. The suspension comes after an investigation revealed discrepancies in the academic qualifications of the senior legal professional, casting a shadow over his career and role in the legal community.

According to sources within the BCI, the suspension order was issued following a complaint regarding the authenticity of the LL.B. degree held by the Vice Chairman. The BCI initiated an inquiry, and evidence emerged suggesting that the degree may have been forged or misrepresented. In accordance with the regulations of the BCI, the suspension was enforced to ensure a fair investigation and uphold the integrity of the legal profession.

As the investigation unfolds, the future of the suspended Vice Chairman remains uncertain, and the case is expected to attract more attention in the coming weeks.
