SSP (Bareilly) Rohit Singh Sajwan said the investigation in the case is still on.
Nearly 10 days after Bareilly police received a complaint of alleged threat letter to an Additional District and Session Judge, the investigation has found that the accused named in the case had died in a police encounter in Moradabad in 2012.
Bareilly police came to know about it when they visited the Moradabad residence of the accused Mohammad Fahim Pakistani.
A case was filed against Fahim for allegedly threatening the judge if he failed to grant bail to one Chunni Lal, who has been arrested in connection with a corruption case.
