This just looks like a piece of biased journalism. What is relation to any threats being received by Nikam? Surely you dont think Sanjay is responsible? You also do not say, who called in Chota Shakeel conversation? If Chota Shakeel did, what are you supposed to do? Hang up?
No-one is denying the fact that he was not a good law abiding person 13 years back. But it%u2019s been too long and Indian law would rather spend more time on dangerous hardened criminals than keep on harping about someone almost no danger to society. Probably a 3 yrs, good fine and community service would have sufficed.
Also, remember in 92-93, rampaging mobs were running around and his family had already received threats. If customs and police could allow guns to be brought in with some bribe, it does not inspire lot of confidence in system. Add a little bit of machoism and you will perfectly see why he could have gotten the gun for self protection. BTW, if you have ever seen mobs violence(I did get a glimpse in 82 riots) You will quickly see why things could have gone the way they did. You can either hide in face of threats or take some action.
Though one good thing about this is it keeps gullible and foolish people of India happy and hopeful thinking justice has been served. This might be good for India as you need hope to make things better. They of-course ignore that there were also 9 politicians who were caught with illegal weapons during the time and none of them were convicted.
