India Delhi gang rape lawyer faces 'misconduct' hearing
The post-trial comments of a defence lawyer in the Delhi gang rape case amount to "professional misconduct", Delhi Bar Council vice-chairman Rakesh Sherawat has told the BBC.
Mr Sherawat said AP Singh "could lose his licence for life if found guilty".
Mr Singh caused shock saying he would have "burned my daughter alive" if she was having "premarital sex and went out late at night with her boyfriend".
He told the BBC on Monday his personal views had been taken out of context.
