Hi all,
I need your suggestion regarding my current situation.
I’ve engaged a lawyer in Hyderabad for a P2P transaction-related case. The transaction has been classified under “Layer 2,” and the police have issued me notices a couple of times, including a 41A CRPC notice.
After speaking with the police, my lawyer is now asking for ₹2 lakhs, claiming it would be used to bribe the police to remove my name from the charge sheet. He’s advising that I go ahead with this to close the matter, saying that if my name ends up on the charge sheet, it could lead to more trouble down the line.
I’m unsure if this is standard practice or a red flag.
Has anyone faced a similar situation? Is this kind of demand legitimate, or should I be seeking a second opinion?
Thanks in advance for your help.
