Snehal Kamble, already notorious for impersonating a lawyer, has been booked for a third fraud case. The latest charges have reignited concerns about the effectiveness of lawyer verification processes and the potential risks to unsuspecting clients and the broader justice system.

Snehal Kamble’s fraudulent activities first came to light in early 2024 when a client discovered inconsistencies in her credentials. Investigations revealed that Kamble had been practicing law without a valid degree or registration with the Bar Council. Despite two previous cases filed against her, Kamble continued to operate, allegedly duping several individuals by offering legal services, drafting documents, and representing clients in court.

The third case, registered at the Shivajinagar police station, involves a local businessman who claims to have lost over ₹5 lakh after Kamble promised to resolve a property dispute. According to the complaint, Kamble provided forged documents and false assurances, delaying the case for months before disappearing with the advance payment.

The businessman, suspicious of repeated delays and evasive responses, conducted his own background check and discovered Kamble’s previous fraud cases. He then approached the police, who confirmed that Kamble was already under investigation for similar offenses. Authorities acted swiftly, booking her under sections related to cheating, forgery, and impersonation.

The revelation that Kamble managed to operate as a fake lawyer despite prior cases has alarmed both legal professionals and the public. Senior advocate Rajesh Kulkarni commented, “This exposes a serious gap in our verification and monitoring mechanisms. If such cases go unchecked, public trust in the legal system will erode.”

Kamble’s repeated offenses have left a trail of victims, many of whom now face financial loss and legal complications. Some clients, believing their cases were in good hands, missed critical deadlines or lost opportunities for genuine legal recourse.

Pune police have assured that a thorough investigation is underway and that efforts are being made to track down Kamble’s associates and recover defrauded funds. The judiciary has also called for greater cooperation between courts, police, and the Bar Council to prevent similar incidents in the future.
