A nexus of crooked court cops and advocates at the Borivli metropolitan magistrate’s court has been instrumental in assisting alleged criminals to procure bail, lawyers have claimed.

The Borivli Advocates Bar Association (BABA) has complained to several judicial authorities and the police department, demanding transfer of a few tainted court cops, or karkoons (clerks). A written complaint signed by more than 150 lawyers from the Borivli court was submitted by association president Ashok Rajput last month.
