Delhi Police have registered a non-cognizable report after a judicial magistrate was threatened during a bail hearing in the capital, moving swiftly to safeguard judicial proceedings and uphold courtroom security.

The incident occurred during court proceedings involving a bail application for Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka. Following the intimidation attempt made in open court, police authorities intervened immediately to record the details and initiate standard legal protocols.

Institutional action and courtroom safety

Under the administrative governance of the Union Ministry of Home Affairs, Delhi Police has continually reinforced security protocols across judicial complexes in the capital. Officials emphasized that protecting the judiciary and maintaining strict law and order within courtrooms remain paramount to ensuring undisturbed access to justice.

In legal procedure, a non-cognizable report allows police officers to officially record an incident where an arrest cannot be made without a warrant, establishing a formal record that can be brought before a magistrate for further direction.
