In her complaint with the police, Chitra had alleged that two women advocates, Revathi Vasudevan and Nadira Banu, had gone to the sub-jail in Kancheepuram, where her husband is lodged, and threatened him and also tried to bribe him to change his confessional statement.

When the pre-arrest bail application came up for hearing, the Seer's counsel KS Dinakaran told Justice M Tanikachalam that the two lawyers had gone to meet some other prisoners and not Ravi Subramaniam.

They went there as members of the state legal cell, he claimed.
