I heard that he may volunteer for the BJP and help with policy formation prior to the 2019 election.

Just when I had thought that CAM Delhi was in a consolidation phase, this news hits the press. Must be tough for Cyril to run Delhi. All the best.

Delhi is to CAM, what Deccan was to Aurangzeb. Please go through the link below:

Good luck, Harsh. This is a loss to CAM. A very good lawyer and a person.

Kian,
Suggest you follow Reuteurs lead and do a follow up story on the CAM PNB saga.
Interesting point made by CBI that no privelege applies as CAM was not the attorney of NM at the time!
Will also be an interesting case to see whether rule of law applies to the high and mighty (must not forget Cyril’s connection with Adani).

Shocking how LI thinks it is appropriate not to report on the biggest story of the day. - CAM being under the CBI scanner in the PNB-NiMo case!!!

This requires much more digging through your “very reliable” sources - people need to know the truth of their unethical practices! Rumour has it that the CAM senior partners are furiously downloading the Telegram app.. daal toh zaroor kaali hai!!

Clearly you haven’t yet, despite news being all over the place is very strange given that you’re normally quick to trigger other stories on mere rumours! Anyhow.. let’s see what you are able to impartially “scoop” up!

It continues to be an interesting story, but in my opinion, Reuters overplayed its scoop slightly...
