Avinash Ramkistan went on a rampage intimidating and threatening the national Director of Public Prosecutions Shamila Batohi, a judge, prosecutors and police with “death” and “bloodshed” after he lost a court case.
A DURBAN man who made violent threats against a judge and prosecutors following a civil court case, has been convicted of multiple charges, including intimidation and crimen injuria.
Avinash Ramkistan, 39, of Glen Ashley in Durban North, was arrested and charged with several counts of intimidation, crimen injuria, contravention of the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) Act and contravention of the Cybercrimes Act in April last year.
He was found guilty on all charges in the Durban Regional Court, last week.
During his bail application last year, the investigating officer, Detective Warrant Officer Sivan Naidoo of the Hawks led evidence that the threats stemmed from a civil matter after the Financial Sector Conduct Authority disbarred Ramkistan, who had worked in the insurance industry, for a period of 10 years because his underwriters were liquidated.
