Muzaffarnagar (UP), March 16

An additional district sessions judge was allegedly threatened by an accused in an abduction and murder case here, police said on Wednesday.

The court of judge Sandeep Gupta had on Tuesday reserved its judgment in a case against accused Amit Jain.

In a complaint filed by Gupta’s wife, Niru Aggarwal, it was alleged that the accused entered their government residence and threatened the family with dire consequences if the judgement was not in his favour.

According to police, a case was registered against Jain under sections 452 (trespass), 387 (putting person in fear of death or grievous hurt), 353 (assault), 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code at the Civil Lines Police Station.

The family has demanded police security.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
