Judge Katulkar has been receiving death threats from Naxals after he oversaw the conviction and sentencing of several naxal leaders and hardcore naxal figures . On 12 June 2015 , an explosion was reported at his residence in Bilaspur . A threatening letter was later found at the site of blast . The letter asked him to step down from his role in the 2013 Naxal attack in Darbha valley case , which he ignored . Later on , it was discovered that he had received a similar threat in July , 2014 . On 24 August 2015 , another letter was thrown at his residence . Once again , the letter demanded he either step down from the 2013 Naxal attack in Darbha valley case , or to transfer the case to Jagdalpur , Bastar . The letter cited his previous convictions of naxal leaders , and threatened to kill him and his whole family should he fail to comply
