Uttarakhand High Court Directs Police to Assess Death Threats to Haridwar Woman from Husband and In-Laws

The Uttarakhand High Court has directed the police to promptly assess and act on alleged death threats to a Haridwar woman from her husband and in-laws.

The order came during a petition alleging repeated threats and harassment, which the Court said warranted a thorough investigation given the potential risk to the woman’s safety.

The Court emphasised the duty of law enforcement to protect life and liberty under Article 21 of the Constitution and directed that the threats be evaluated in a time-bound manner, with appropriate protective measures put in place.

The matter was listed for further hearing after the assessment report is submitted on record.
