‘छलड़े छलड़े वाल…’ बीते दिनों सोशल मीडिया पर ये गाना ख़ूब वायरल हुआ. शानज़े सियाल और मोहसिन लशारी नाम के दो पाकिस्तानी कलाकारों का ये गाना इंस्टाग्राम पर अब तक 10 मिलियन बार देखा और सुना जा चुका है. इस गाने को न सिर्फ़ पाकिस्तान और भारत में बल्कि पूरी दुनिया भर में ख़ूब पसंद किया जा रहा है.

For days protesters have struggled to make themselves seen and heard inside New Delhi.
Not today though.

At least 16 journalists were brutally detained while covering public demonstrations in #India. In addition to the four journalists already mentioned, RSF has learned that Anushka Bhardwaj (#BusinessStandard), Hritik Joshi and Rahul Charas (@NavbharatTimes), Shoaib Daniyal (#Scroll), Anshu (@newslaundry ), Saurabh Sharma (@Reuters ), Jagriti Trisha (BOOM), Shivang Shukla (Mo), Neeraj Jha (@moliticsindia), and freelance journalist Paranjoy Guha Thakurta were also forcibly detained in #Delhi, along with Kinjal (@AltNews) in #Ahmedabad and Divya Aslesha (Scroll) in #Pune.
Covering events of public interest is not a crime. It is their job. The police's actions against the press are unacceptable.

UPDATE: Three Newslaundry reporters detained by Delhi Police.
Our reporters @AshwineSingh, @SavyasachiAstha, and @anmolpritamND have been detained while covering the October 10 protest. Delhi Police have also seized Newslaundry’s official phones, which our reporters were using to carry out their reporting duties.
When the journalists identified themselves as media personnel, they were reportedly told, “Koi media nahin hai.”
Around 30 people have been put into a single bus, including protesters and journalists. Our reporters have identified Inspector Dhan Singh Malik as the officer who snatched the phones.
Journalists are there to report, not to protest. They were not obstructing police operations. On what grounds are they being detained and their phones seized?
@DelhiPolice must explain these actions and allow journalists to do their jobs without intimidation.

My colleague, one of India's best investigative reporters, Ayush Tiwari @sighyush has been detained by Delhi Police near ITO.
He was not even at Jantar Mantar.
He had his press card prominently displayed.
He told the police many times he was a journalist.
Despite that he was bundled into a van and taken away.

Do watch this to understand the scale of police mobilisation today. People walking down the road are being picked up and put into buses. Journos aren’t being allowed to access the roads where these buses are stationed
This is very different from what we saw during the July protests

#ExpressInvestigation | SIR, which began in Bihar in June 2025, an otherwise routine clean-up of the rolls, has struck more than 13 crore names off the draft voter rolls in 30 States and Union Territories. This has put the Election Commission at the centre of intense public debate over its role in deciding who gets to vote — and who doesn’t.
An investigation by The Indian Express reveals that questions were raised on these very issues within the three-member Election Commission itself, time and again through much of this same period. By two of the three Election Commissioners, Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi, no less.

Best investigations start with a curiosity. And so did this one by @shubhangi_misra @Urban_Inquilabi on India’s little-known parties earning millions in donations. The 6 parties that earned the highest in last election year exist in one state. Guess!

Website of New India United Party, one of the parties that we probed in our BBC investigation, has gone dark.
Their income:
2022-2023 407 crore
2023-2024: 200 crore
2024-25: 291 crore
And now the website has gone down.
Watch this brilliant investigation by the BBC’s @shubhangi_misra on the scores of political parties raising plenty of money but carrying out no political activity. So what is the money being used for? youtu.be/dk7DJNrg1ik?si=MhhP… via @YouTube

Can you believe that the income of 6 small Gujarat-based parties exceeded that of national parties (minus BJP) in 2023-2024?
