Delhi High Court Orders Police to Expedite Protection for Ex-DUSU President Facing Death Threats

New Delhi, November 7, 2025 – The Delhi High Court has intervened in the case of Ronak Khatri, former president of the Delhi University Students Union (DUSU), directing the Delhi Police to expedite their review and response to his plea for protection. Khatri claims he has received credible death threats and extortion demands, prompting the court to emphasize the state’s responsibility to safeguard its citizens.

Khatri alleges that he received messages from a Ukraine-registered phone number, with the sender identifying as an associate of the notorious Rohit Godara gang. The sender demanded ₹5 crore (approximately $600,000 USD) and threatened Khatri’s life if the money was not paid.

Justice Ravinder Dudeja stated, “Since the petitioner perceives a threat to his life, the DCP, Outer North, as well as the DCP, Special Cell, is directed to expedite the request made by the petitioner for police protection.” The court further instructed local police units to be responsive to any calls from Khatri.

According to Khatri’s petition, he initially received limited police protection on September 29th, 2024, following the threats, but this protection was withdrawn the following day. He has since made repeated appeals to the Delhi Police for reinstatement of the security for himself and his family, claiming that no concrete action has been taken.

Delhi Police’s standing counsel confirmed in court that Khatri’s application has been forwarded to the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) of the Special Cell for a threat assessment. The High Court’s order underscores the urgency of this assessment and the potential need for immediate protective measures.
