Additional Sessions Judge Ravi Kumar Diwakar Receives Death Threats from International Numbers

Judge Ravi Kumar Diwakar, who ordered a videography survey of Varanasi’s Gyanvapi complex in 2022, has once again reported receiving death threats, this time from international phone numbers. He has initiated suo motu action on the 2018 Bareilly riots case and has summoned senior cleric Tauqeer Raza to face trial for his alleged involvement. Despite concerns about the inadequacy of his security, the judge’s security has been downgraded from Y-category to X-category. In 2023, a PFI member was arrested near his Lucknow house, leading to the deployment of a gunman to guard his brother’s residence, but the cover was later withdrawn.
