Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) Vinod Yadav marked the plea of Khalil Ahmed, facing prosecution in several criminal cases, to be placed before District and Sessions Judge Sunita Gupta for April 27.

Khalil, who had recently created a drama in the courtroom by removing his shirt to show abrasions over his abdomen and back, allegedly made in blade attack by Rohini jail inmates, had told CMM Yadav that he knew hideouts in jail, where the undertrial keep their indigenously prepared arms.

Khalil had earlier said he had informed Rohini jail authorities about it but no action was taken on this and his complaint should be transferred to the District and Sessions Judge for further action.

 

"Let the bunch of applications filed by Khalil be placed before the District and Sessions Judge on April 27 at 2 pm," the CMM said.

Khalil had earlier told the court that he was attacked by fellow inmates and convicts serving life term at jail number 2 of Rohini Jail with blades and knives.

He had also alleged that all this was done at the behest of the jail staff and the police.
