"The applicant feels that the co-accused will harm him physically or even kill him. "He has a mother, a wife and a seven-year-old son... if something happens to him, they will be left alone in the world."
Dhake, through his application, has requested the court to transfer him back to Thane jail.
The court has taken the application and informed his lawyer and special public prosecutor Pradip Gharat. The application will be heard soon.
