Exclusive: Ex-Bombay HC Judge Gautam Patel Speaks On Facing Death Threats Over Dawoodi Bohra Verdict

A retired Bombay High Court judge has revealed that his family is facing transnational death threats and physical violence following his landmark 2024 judgment on the Dawoodi Bohra community succession issue. The former judge disclosed that the intimidation has continued for ten months across Mumbai and London, culminating in a recent death threat and an assault on his daughter in the United Kingdom. Despite filing complaints with the Mumbai police and United Kingdom authorities, the retired judge expressed concern over the lack of progress in the investigation. He highlighted that the perpetrators are exploiting a jurisdictional divide, as the threats are directed at an Indian citizen but delivered on British soil. The former judge emphasized that this is not just an individual attack but a broader assault on the independence of the Indian judiciary and the rule of law. He stated his refusal to be intimidated, maintaining that the justice system must not compromise in the face of coercion by disgruntled elements. #JusticeGautamPatel #DawoodiBohraVerdict #RajdeepSardesai #itwebvideos #BombayHighCourt #IndianJudiciary #DeathThreats #RuleOfLaw #MumbaiPolice #LondonPolice #JudiciaryIndependence #HighCourtJudge #TransnationalCrime #JusticeSystem #ChiefJusticeOfIndia #BarAssociationOfIndia #NewsToday #IndiaToday Subscribe to India Today for NEW VIDEOS EVERY DAY and make sure to enable Push Notifications so you'll never miss a new video.
