Court summons official in Mulayam's threat to IPS case
Lucknow, June 23 : In a case pertaining to an alleged telephonic threat by former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav to senior IPS officer Amitabh Thakur, the Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) of Lucknow has now summoned a police officer to apprise it of the steps taken in compliance with its earlier order, officials said on Saturday.
CJM Lucknow Anand Prakash Singh has summoned Circle Officer (CO) Bazarkhala Anil Kumar Yadav to appear before the court on July 5.
In the case registered by Thakur, the officer alleged that Mulayam Singh threatened him on a call on July 10, 2015.
On August 20, 2016, the court directed the investigating officer to get the voice sample of Mulayam Singh and match it in a forensic lab but so far the IO has not been able to do it.
In his report presented before the court, previous IO Abhay Mishra said that he and his predecessor sent notice to Mulayam Singh around a dozen times through special messenger, registered post and station officer of Gautampalli but no one in his residence received them.
He sent notice for voice sample at Mulayam Singh's Delhi residence through fax and registered post but there was no response.
SSP of Lucknow, Deepak Kumar, set up a Special Investigating Team under the Bazarkhala CO on February 14, 2018 but it has also not been able to take the voice sample so far.

Borders peaceful as Pak fears PM Modi: Amit Shah in J-K
Mendhar (J-K) (PTI): Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday said there is peace along the borders in Jammu and Kashmir as Pakistan fears Prime Minister Narendra Modi and would dare to open fire.
Shah was addressing an election rally in this border area in the Union territory's Poonch district in support of BJP candidate Murtaza Khan.
He lauded the BJP-led Centre for wiping out terrorism by replacing guns and stones in the hands of youngsters with laptops and said his government would not allow guns to resonate in the hills of Jammu region.
"We will construct more bunkers along the borders for the safety of the people. I want to remind you of cross-border firings in the 1990s… Is cross-border firing happening today?
"It is because the earlier rulers here were frightened of Pakistan, but now, Pakistan fears Modi. They would not dare to fire but if they did, they would be given a befitting reply," Shah said.
The BJP leader is on a three-day tour and is scheduled to address four more election rallies in Surankote in Poonch, Thanamandi and Rajouri in Rajouri district and Akhnoor in Jammu district.
Assembly polls in Jammu and Kashmir are taking place for the first time after the abrogation of Article 370 and the bifurcation of the erstwhile state into two Union Territories - Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh -- in August 2019.
The first phase of polling was held on September 18. The second phase will be held on September 25, followed by the third and final phase on October 1. The election results will be declared on October 8.
