Overview
- Uttar Pradesh Police registered an FIR on Friday against Anubhav Mittal and constable Ajay Kumar for criminal intimidation and offences under the IT Act.
- The email warned that a judge of the Lucknow bench was going to be murdered, and a Cyber Cell–Crime Branch inquiry traced it to Kumar’s device.
- Investigators say Mittal used the constable’s phone during a November 4 court visit to create a new email ID and schedule the message for automatic dispatch the next morning.
- Police allege the email was sent under a false identity to implicate fellow inmate Anandeshwar Agrahari due to personal enmity.
- The constable has been suspended and taken into custody, while Mittal remains jailed in the alleged ₹3,700-crore scam for which he faces more than 300 related cases.
