Bengaluru: Bengaluru Police registered an FIR after a public relations officer (PRO) of Karnataka High Court received a call and WhatsApp messages threatening to kill six judges.
The complaint, filed by PRO K Muralidhar, stated that he received a call and messages from an international number at 7 pm on July 12.
The message in Hindi, Urdu and English allegedly threatened to kill him and six judges of the Karnataka High Court — Justices Mohammad Nawaz, HT Narendra Prasad, Ashok Nijagannanavar, HP Sandesh, K Natarajan and Veerappa – the PRO said.
