The Madhya Pradesh High Court has taken suo motu cognizance of death threats and communal abuse directed at an Additional District Judge, Tabassum Khan, who sentenced 14 men to life imprisonment in a cow vigilante mob lynching case. The court observed that such threats constitute pressure on the judiciary and directed the state's Director General of Police and Additional Chief Secretary (Home) to file affidavits detailing their action.
