Rizwan Siddiqui, known for representing celebrities like Kangana Ranaut in her dispute with Hrithik Roshan and also Priyanka Chopra, has now faced disciplinary action after a long-drawn case.
In 2018, Siddiqui was arrested by the Thane Crime Branch for allegedly procuring call data records (CDRs) through a private detective, reportedly involving Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s wife. Though released by a Mumbai court, authorities maintained evidence against him.

Now, after nearly a decade-long fight initiated by actress and cancer survivor Rozlyn Khan aka Rehana Khan, the Bar Council of India has suspended Siddiqui’s license to practice law for two years on grounds of professional misconduct. The case, originally pending in Maharashtra, was transferred to the national body for final adjudication.
Reacting to the verdict, Rozlyn Khan said, “This relief came after years of harassment, stigma, and pressure from powerful lobbies. I was branded ‘controversial’ simply for demanding justice. Instead of addressing the crime, the system tried to assassinate my character. This judgment is not just my victory it exposes deep-rooted injustice in Maharashtra and gives voice to every woman silenced by power and manipulation.”
“Two years of suspension is not enough compared to my 11 years of trauma. I will personally take this fight to the Supreme Court this is just the beginning. I am a slap in the face of those who tried to defeat me with manipulation. They made me lose a criminal case, but without a law degree I have managed to take away a lawyer’s degree. Now, I am here to win many battles against this lobby,” She further added.
Rozlyn Khan represented herself before the Bar Council of India and won her case.
