In a shocking incident, a convict and his lawyer openly threatened and hurled abuses at a woman judge in New Delhi after the accused was convicted in a cheque bounce case.
“Tu hai kya cheez… tu bahar mil, dekhte hai kaise zinda ghar jaati hai (Who even are you… just meet me outside and let’s see how you make it back home alive),” the accused was heard saying to judicial magistrate Shivangi Mangla, leaving the court in absolute disbelief.
