Judge Extends Protective Order for NJ School Board Member After New Violent Texts Surface

The case now centers on screenshots attributed to Mitesh Gandhi that a judge deemed sufficient to keep protections in place.

Overview

  • A Monmouth County judge denied Mitesh Gandhi’s bid to end a restraining order and extended protections for Danielle Bellomo through January, barring contact and requiring him to stay away.
  • In court, the judge read alleged messages attributed to Gandhi, including “She can’t die soon enough,” “I’m gonna slaughter her now,” and “Mission is to just let her die by herself lol.”
  • Newly public screenshots include a private exchange with local father David Pucciarelli, who shared the texts with police in September and says he is prepared to testify.
  • The prosecutor’s office has declined criminal charges despite police involvement, while earlier fallout included a viral “This B---- Needs to Die” group chat and two school-board candidates withdrawing after “Nipplegate.”
  • The district says it worked with police and added undisclosed safety protocols, and lawyers or representatives for several implicated figures have either denied wrongdoing or declined comment.
