In a letter sent to Police Commissioner Bhim Sain Bassi, advocate M S Khan said Delhi Police has been doing assessment of his previous threats for the last three months but no action has been taken till date in the matter.
"It appears that I am being watched and monitored very closely by some miscreants and on the other hand Delhi Police is just doing my threat assessment for the last three months," he said.
"...When I reached near my house, two persons came to me, one of them addressed me 'Khan sahab maan jao, chor do kab tak bachaoge bhatkal ko' (Mr Khan, leave Bhatkal's case. How long will you save him). I also noticed that he was having some weapon concealed under his shirt. This episode lasted just for few seconds and they left," he said.
In January this year, Khan had complained to the police that a person, who identified himself as Ravi Pujari, was threatening him to leave Bhatkal's case and he had also received threat calls and SMSes.

In his today's letter, Khan said as the police was not taking any action in the matter, he had decided that he would not pursue his petition pending before the High Court as "it will be a useless academic exercise".
He, however, clarified that he would continue to conduct terror cases, including that of Mohd Ahmed Siddibappa alias Yasin Bhatkal.
Khan, who is also defending top Laskhar-e-Toiba (LeT) bomb expert Abdul Karim Tunda, extradited gangster Abu Salem and various other suspected terrorists, had said he had received a call on January 16 from a person who identified himself as Ravi Pujari.
