Gangster Kala Jatheri fears 'fake encounter', urges court to 'shackle' him at hearings

NEW DELHI: Fearing getting killed in an encounter by the police, most-wanted gangster Kala Jatheri has filed a plea in a Delhi court seeking directions to the concerned jail authorities to shackle and handcuff him whenever he is produced for hearing.

Jatheri's request came in the backdrop of the Rohini court shootout in which Jitender Singh Mann alias 'Gogi' was killed by two assailants, who were subsequently gunned down by the police.

The court on its part has accepted Jatheri's plea and issued directions to the jail superintendent and all the concerned police authorities to bring him in shackles and handcuffs during transit.

Jatheri is currently in the custody of Faridabad Police. His lawyer said in the plea that the accused is having apprehension with regard to a "false and fake encounter" by the police while transiting or on a production warrant. (IANS)
