New Delhi: A complaint was filed in the capital against former cricket captain Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, an accused in a black buck poaching case, for allegedly threatening a co-accused in the case.
Madan Singh, an accused in the poaching case, filed a complaint at Vasant Vihar Police Station in south-west Delhi claiming that the former cricketer had threatened him with "dire consequences" if he did not change his testimony given to police.
Singh alleged that Pataudi called him to his Vasant Kunj residence in south-west Delhi on August 20 and in the presence of his lawyer, asked him to change his statement given to police and own up the crime of killing the black buck.
When he refused to comply, Pataudi allegedly threatened him with dire consequences.
NGO People For Animals (PFA), which is demanding registration of a case against Pataudi in this connection, said it had also lodged a complaint backing Singh in the office of the SP.
Police had found carcasses of black buck and some other animals in Pataudi's vehicle last year and registered a case against him in Jhajjar, where he was stopped by police.
The case will come up for hearing before the Chief Judicial Magistrate on Tuesday.
