" Tu Hai Kya Cheez": Convict Issues Death Threat To Delhi Judge In Courtroom
New Delhi:
Convicting a man in a six-year-old check bounce case led to shocking consequences for Delhi judge Shivangi Mangla, who was verbally abused, harassed and threatened in the open courtroom.
"Tu hai kya cheez... tu bahar mil dekhte hai kaise zinda ghar jaati hai (who are you even? Meet us outside, and we will see how you return home alive)," the accused had said as she passed the order convicting him at a court in Delhi's Dwarka on April 2. The convict and his counsel even demanded that the judge resign her post and said they would complain against her otherwise and force her to resign.
The two "Harassed me mentally and physically to resign from job and they both again harassed to acquit the accused else they will file complaint against me and forcibly arrange my resignation," the judge said in her order.
She has referred the matter to the district and sessions judge so it could be forwarded to the Delhi High Court for appropriate proceedings. Appropriate action should also be taken against the accused by the National Commission for Women, she said.
She also issued a showcause notice to the convict's lawyer, advocate Atul Kumar, asking why criminal contempt proceedings should not be initiated against him.
On April 5, she sentenced the accused to 22 months' jail and a fine of Rs 6.65 lakh in the cheque bounce case.

Bagru police arrest five for highway almond heist
1 2 3 Jaipur: A heist on national highway-8 when almonds worth Rs 60 lakh were looted after drugging the truck driver came to nothing as Bagru police arrested five persons and recovered the stolen almonds, police officers said Sunday. DCP (west) Amit Kumar said Tansher Singh, a partner in a logistics company, had filed a complaint at Bagru police station on June 7 stating that a truck carrying 900 sacks of almonds had gone missing. The consignment, booked by an export firm, was worth Rs 1 crore. The truck, which departed on June 4, was being tracked via two GPS devices. However, both signals were lost near Nevta Road Bridge in Sanganer on the morning of June 7. The driver, Anis, went incommunicado, and later, the truck was found abandoned near Bagru toll plaza with the driver unconscious and over 300 almond sacks missing. Three of the accused—Babulal Chaudhary, Shakir Qureshi, and Sahil Mansuri—were identified as the masterminds behind the robbery. They sold the stolen almonds to Rajkumar Saini and Bhupendra Kumar, both residents of Kalwad. Police raided a house in Kuchera, Nagaur—belonging to Saini's in-laws—and recovered 312 sacks of the stolen almonds along with the getaway vehicle, an Innova car.
