‘Speak less if you want to live': Delhi judge threatened in Dwarka
A judge of a court in Delhi received a death threat from two boys in Dwarka's Kakrola village earlier this month.
As per the First Information Report (FIR) lodged on April 16, the judge alleged that two boys in a Wagon R car stopped their vehicle 10 metres behind him and blew the horn four to five times on April 1.
The FIR further stated that the incident happened when the judge was walking towards a public school from his house at around 6 pm.
'I turned back and looked at the car and those two boys. The non-driver shouted at me, saying, 'Tu bach kar reh le. Hum goli maar diya karen. Kam bola kar agar jeena chahta hai toh (Beware. We shoot people. Speak less if you want to live)',' the judge alleged as per the FIR.
After issuing the threat, the judge claimed, the car sped off in a zig-zag manner and then took a sharp turn.
According to the FIR, the judge said he couldn't see the number plate of the vehicle.
The Delhi Police said they are probing the matter, and analysing CCTV footage from the vicinity of the spot where the judge was threatened.
Recently, a retired government school teacher and his lawyer threatened and hurled abuses at a woman judge inside a courtroom in Delhi after he was convicted in a six-year-old cheque bounce case.
'Tu hai kya cheez… tu bahar mil, dekhte hai kaise zinda ghar jaati hai (You are nothing…come outside, we'll see how you return home alive),' the retired teacher reportedly told Judge Shivangi Mangla on April 2.
The judge had referred the matter to the National Commission for Women.

Key associate of 'Dr Death' held in UP's Aligarh after 21 years
New Delhi, A key associate of notorious serial killer Devender Sharma alias 'Dr Death' has been arrested by Delhi Police from Aligarh in Uttar Pradesh after remaining on the run for 21 years, an official on Sunday said. The accused, identified as Rajender alias Rajua , is a resident of Kasimpur in Aligarh and a proclaimed offender, he said. The official said that Rajender was apprehended on June 14 by a team of Crime Branch. "He was wanted in a 2004 case of murder, kidnapping, causing disappearance of evidence, criminal conspiracy and common intention at Sarita Vihar Police Station," the police officer said. "A court had declared Rajender a proclaimed offender in the case, but he had managed to evade arrest for over two decades," the officer added. Rajender was a close accomplice of Devender Sharma alias Dr Death, who was arrested from Rajasthan's Dausa earlier on May 19, police said. Sharma, a notorious serial killer and Ayurveda practitioner, infamously dubbed "Doctor Death" was arrested by Delhi Police after jumping parole last year. Convicted in multiple murder cases, Sharma was known for dumping the bodies of his victims in the crocodile-infested Hazara Canal in Uttar Pradesh's Kasganj. He was sentenced to life imprisonment in seven separate murder cases across Delhi, Rajasthan and Haryana, and even received the capital punishment in one case by a Gurugram court. The police believe that he was responsible for over 50 murders. Sharma, a Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery degree holder, had been serving a life sentence in Tihar Jail for the brutal killings of many taxi and truck drivers between 2002 and 2004. He absconded in 2023 after being granted parole and was on the run since then. Sharma and his accomplices would lure the drivers with fake trip requests, murder them and sell their vehicles in the grey market. The bodies were then thrown into the Hazara Canal, known for its crocodile population, to erase all evidence. Sharma also ran an illicit kidney transplant racket in 1990 and early 2000. He confessed to facilitating more than 125 illegal transplants with the help of doctors and brokers, police said. Sharma disclosed during his interrogation that Rajender, a key operative of their crime syndicate active in early 2000, was still absconding, they said. Based on the inputs, a police team began tracking Rajender across multiple cities, including Aligarh, Jaipur and Delhi. After days of surveillance and tip-off, the accused was finally traced to a remote area of Kasimpur, where he had been living in an isolated room and working as a security guard at a local pump house under a false identity. "Rajender was involved in multiple killings, primarily of truck and taxi drivers, along with Sharma and other gang members," said the police officer. Rajender revealed during his interrogation that he had joined Sharma's gang in 2003 after a personal dispute, police said. He was arrested in a murder case in Jaipur in 2007 under a false name and sentenced to life imprisonment. He served 14 years in prison without disclosing his true identity or involvement in other cases, they said. After being released on bail in 2021, he continued to live under the radar in Aligarh, evading law. Rajender has a criminal history spanning 12 cases, including charges of murder, kidnapping and robbery, the officer said. He is also wanted in four more murder cases in Delhi and Gurugram in which he had never been arrested, he added. "All concerned police stations have been informed about his arrest and further legal proceedings are underway, the officer said.

On the run for 21 years, Doctor Death's associate arrested for Delhi murder
An associate of notorious serial killer Doctor Death, on the run for 21 years for one of his gang's murders in Sarita Vihar, was finally arrested by the Crime Branch from his native Aligarh on Saturday, Delhi Police said. On May 19, the police arrested Devender Sharma, aka Doctor Death, the leader of the gang that allegedly killed truck and taxi drivers to steal their vehicles and sell them off in the grey market. They interrogated him about the elusive gang member Rajender, whose name had cropped up in connection with seven murders committed by the gang across Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh, but was never caught before by the police. The police were in for a shock when Devender revealed that an associate, Rajua, 59, convicted for life for only one murder by the gang in Jaipur in 2007, was the same person as Rajender. 'The accused revealed that Rajua was the same person as Rajender and was working under a false identity to hide his involvement in other murders, including that in Sarita Vihar,' Aditya Gautam, DCP (Crime), said. Though Rajender, 59, did serve time as Rajua in Jaipur jail from 2007 to 2021, the police believed that he was involved in only one murder, a police official said. 'He was accused in the murder of a taxi driver in Jaipur as part of the Doctor Death gang and was convicted for life under the name Rajua. This name was fake, and didn't come up in other murder investigations of crimes committed by the gang. Hence, he served his sentence from 2007 to 2021, and was then released,' a police official said. A team led by Inspector Rakesh Sharma of the Crime Branch, supervised by ACP Umesh Barthwal started tracing Rajender. Inputs were gathered from across western Uttar Pradesh, which revealed that a security guard in Kasimpur area of Aligarh matched Rajender's profile. 'After sustained efforts, they successfully traced Rajender to Kasimpur, Aligarh, where he had been hiding in an isolated room and working as a security guard at a local pump house. He was apprehended,' DCP Gautam said. Living under the radar in Kasimpur, Rajender is named in 12 prior cases, including that of murder, kidnapping, and robbery. The police believe that he might be involved in four more murder cases in Delhi and Gurugram, for which he is yet to be convicted. On May 19, the same Crime Branch team led by Inspector Rakesh Sharma arrested Devender Sharma, a 67-year-old Ayurvedic doctor from Aligarh, who was sentenced to life in seven cases of kidnapping and murdering taxi drivers between 2002 and 2004. In 2023, he was serving his sentence in Tihar Jail when he was granted parole and vanished. Before his arrest, Sharma practised medicine at the Janta Clinic in Bandikui in Rajasthan for 11 years. In 1994, he was scammed out of Rs 11 lakh — his entire life savings — after he attempted to open a gas dealership, said the police. The police said Sharma returned home to Aligarh, where he operated a fake gas agency. He began targeting truck drivers — killing them to steal gas cylinders they were transporting from different suppliers to Aligarh, said the police. The bodies would be disposed of in rivers. Between 2002 and 2004, the police said Sharma — who had a gang by now — was responsible for the abduction and murder of numerous taxi drivers. His modus operandi, the police said, involved hiring taxis from Delhi. He then killed the driver and dumped the body in the crocodile-infested Hazra Canal in Kasganj. The stolen taxis were then sold in the grey market for Rs 20,000-Rs 25,000 each. Sharma was arrested and charged with the murders of 21 taxi drivers, although he later admitted to killing more than 50 people, said the police. As the police could never recover the bodies of the victims, Sharma would be given life imprisonment for the murders of only seven victims.
