Written by : TNM Staff

A judge of a local court filed a complaint with Sagara police after receiving threat calls on Saturday in Karnataka’s Shivamogga district on Saturday, reports Public TV.

Maheshwari Hiremath, the judge in question, received a phone call on her mobile from an unknown person saying her life might be in danger. 

Hiremath was unsure about how the anonymous person knew her mobile number.

Incidentally, she pronounced the death sentence in two cases of murder that happened last month in Sagara Taluk in Shivamogga district.

Police have not found any leads on the person who made the threat call.
