Judges in Delhi Courtrooms Face Death Threats Amid Rising Tensions

Two separate incidents of death threats against judges in Delhi courts raise alarm. A Dwarka court judge and a woman judge were threatened by unidentified men and a convict respectively, highlighting tensions within the judicial system. Police investigations are underway to address these security challenges.

In a troubling series of events, judges in Delhi are facing increased threats, with two incidents reported in quick succession.

The first incident involved a judge from a Dwarka court who was threatened while on a walk. On April 1, two unidentified individuals brazenly stopped in front of the judge's path in Kakrola village, issuing the death threats. The Delhi police have confirmed that an FIR has been filed against the assailants, and investigations are actively being pursued.

In a separate incident, amid growing concerns over courtroom security, a convict and his lawyer allegedly threatened a woman judge in Dwarka court on April 2. The convict, disgruntled after receiving a 22-month prison sentence and a fine of Rs. 6,65,000 for a cheque bounce case, reportedly lashed out at the judge with dire threats. Authorities are considering appropriate legal action as the situation escalates.
