The judge had raised apprehensions that this might be an act by men of criminal Sundar Bhati, who along with 11 other gang members, was convicted and sentenced to life by him during his term as additional sessions judge at district court, Gautam Buddh Nagar on April 5, 2021 in a session trial.

The judge had stated that he has no enmity with anyone but has a suspicion that Sundar Bhati and his gang members might have conspired to attack him with the intention to kill to take revenge of their conviction, as these persons were never convicted till then, despite having long criminal antecedents, he stated in the FIR.

The judge clarified that his vehicle had not touched anyone’s vehicle on the road, thus, it cannot be a case of road rage. Yet, these five men deliberately terrorised him with the intention to kill, he alleged.

“A case has been registered after an FIR was filed by the additional district judge posted at Farrukhabad Court alleging that his car was overtaken and blocked by five men in white Bolero car. CCTV footage of the particular day is being watched and assessed and the vehicle about which the judge has mentioned is being looked into beside other required legal compliance,” said Varun Kumar, circle officer, Khair, in Aligarh on Monday.
