After Slapping Incident, Kangana Ranaut's Statement on 'Extremism in Punjab' Sparks Controversy

“When I asked her (CISF jawan), why did she do this, she said that she supported the farmers' protest. I am safe but my concern is that jo aatankwad aur ugarwad Punjab mai bad raha hai (the terrorism and extremism that is rising in Punjab), how do we handle that?" Ranaut said.

Delhi Riots: How A Delhi Police Investigating Officer Framed 9 Muslim Men For An Attack By A Hindu Mob

A Delhi police investigating officer used planted witnesses and concocted statements to fabricate a case against nine Muslim men charged with setting fire to an eatery run by a Muslim man, which, a judge found, was attacked by the Hindu mob during the Delhi riots in February 2020. Dismissing the case in March this year, one of at least 60 cases to be so dismissed in four years, the judge said the statements were “artificially prepared”.

The worrying use of drones by security forces within the country has been made possible by exemptions granted by the government.

Why A 3.5-Year-Old Poorly Investigated Case Against Students Of Delhi’s Jamia University Is Going To Trial

A violent protest in New Delhi’s Jamia Millia Islamia University almost four years ago, on 13 December 2019, started a two-month agitation against India’s contentious new citizenship law. Eight months after a district court judge discharged students of Jamia for lack of evidence and six months after the Delhi High Court reversed the order, the trial is proceeding with one hearing a month. Article14 reviews why a case lacking evidence after 3.5 years of investigation is being prosecuted.
