Pietermaritzburg - Planting cocaine in a doctor's car and arresting him for possession of drugs were part of a campaign to drive him out of Pietermaritzburg, the city's high court heard on Tuesday.
This emerged during the trial of businessman Rajivee Soni, who is accused of the murder of Doctor Bhavish Sewram.
Soni was allegedly livid because he suspected Sewram of having an affair with his wife. Sewram was shot dead as he left his surgery in May 2013.
