Fact check:
The tweets are not authentic. So, the claim is FALSE.
Newsmeter viewed the account of the twitter handle and found that it is a fan account. The bio of the twitter account states that it is a fan account of Satish Maneshinde. We also found that the account was created in September 2020 and has over 3900 followers.
The username, @satishmaneshnde misspells the lawyer's last name, 'Maneshinde' which proves the account is not authentic. The website linked in the user's bio, "Satish.org" leads to a domain broker service that offers you to buy the particular domain name.
