Death Threats Rock Jind Jail: Lawyer-Witness Faces Gang’s Fury
Advocate Vinod Bansal, a key witness in two high-profile murder cases, has received chilling death threats from within Jind Jail. The threats, allegedly originating from Pradeep alias Gatta, a member of the notorious Baljit-Dharmender gang, demand Bansal withdraw his participation in the trials.
One of the cases involves the murder of Bansal’s own brother in 2021, highlighting the deeply personal stakes involved. His crucial testimony is vital to the prosecution’s case.
The threats have forced authorities to place Bansal’s family under protective custody. Police are investigating the matter and pursuing all leads to ensure the safety of the advocate and his family.
This brazen attempt to intimidate a lawyer and witness underscores the growing influence of organised crime and the urgent need for stronger measures to protect those who dare to stand up against powerful criminal syndicates. The incident raises serious concerns about the security within the prison system itself. The case will undoubtedly be closely watched as it unfolds.
