NEW DELHI: An accused whose statement had helped a court blow the lid off an alleged gold smuggling racket has alleged that he and his family received death threats from the complainant. The case has also put officials of a police station under scanner for allegedly trying to hush it up.
The counsel for the accused, Sachendra, submitted that the complainant, Mohd Saad, along with his associates, had allegedly gone to his home in Uttar Pradesh and threatened his wife that they would kill the family if he made any statement in court.
