In India, opposition Congress Party leader Manish Tewari has said that the transfer of Delhi high court judge Justice S. Muralidhar is an attempt to intimidate the judiciary.

Justice S Muralidhar was hearing a petition into the organized violence against Muslims in New Delhi.         

Criticizing the partial role of police in the wake of riots in New Delhi, Justice S. Muralidhar had called on police to investigate politicians from Narendra Modi's governing Bharatiya Janata party for inciting violence.

Meanwhile, thirty-eight people have been killed so far in the deadliest violence in New Delhi errupted after controversial Citizenship Amendment Act.
