A Delhi court on Monday informed senior advocate H S Phoolka, who has been representing the victims of 1984 anti-Sikh riots in various cases, that the judge has received a letter giving death threat to the senior counsel.
Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Harjyot Singh Bhalla directed the CBI to file a response in the matter by February 11, a court source said.
The court was hearing a case related to the riots in which Congress leader Jagdish Tytler is an accused.
Reacting to the threats, Phoolka told the PTI, "These things would not distract me. During 35 year of fight, I have received such threats many times."
