Tripathi last night lodged a complaint at Sangramgarh police station following which a case was registered against Raja Bahiya and his men for threatening the witness in the case.
Raja Bhaiya has been mentioned as a conspirator in the murder of the police official by Haq’s widow, Parveen Azad, a medical student.
