- Such act of an Advocate is against the ethics of bar counsel of India & Advocates Act, as none is allowed to take the law in his hand. 

- You can lodge a complaint against him before the bar association where her is doing practice. 

- However, amicable settle the dispute.

1. No one is above law and an advocate is also not an exception . What the caller is doing is nothing but committing a crime. 

2. Therefore you can lodge complaint with local police on which basis the police can register FIR under section 384 and 506 IPC.

3. You can also lodge complaint with Bar Council.

What is the issue? I mean did he threaten you through mails or messages or this was the only statement because this is not that threatening so that your complaint would be lodged.

If he is threatening you wrt a case then you may engage a lawyer.

2. If it's derogatory, then complain against the Advocate to Delhi Bar Council, alongwith evidence. 

3.  Similarly you can complain to the jurisdictional Police Station, alongwith the evidence.

Hello,

  1. You can file a complaint against him in your local police station stating that he has threatened you, if you choose to.
  2. It is possible that someone has approached him to initiate certain legal proceedings against you and he was trying to browbeat you. The lawyer cannot do  anything against you and you have no cause to be concerned. You need to take steps if you receive a notice/summons from the court etc. engaging a lawyer.

Dear sir,

Please provide brief details of the background/context. 

"Boht kuch kar sakta hai" does not amount to any crime. If he threatens to cause any injury you can lodge a complaint.

You can lodge complaint against the said Advocate before the Bar Council by furnishing the proofs which you have.  Make sure that, you have his correct details, i.e., his name, address and preferably his enrollment details.

Alongwith the above, you can also lodge police complaint against him within your area of domicile.
