I'd rather die than be called a coward: Judge on action against him for awarding 22 death penalties

After over 100 murder cases under judge Ravi Kumar Diwakar in UP's Muzaffarnagar were transferred to another judge, he said he'd rather die than be known as a "coward judge". The cases were transferred after he sentenced 22 people to death in four months. The judge claimed that the cases were recalled from his court to benefit mafia and criminals.
