How does a toddler pass through two different hospitals—including a government facility—with bilateral fractures without a single doctor triggering a medico-legal case? @harithajohn1 and @AzeefaFathima report on Arshith’s death.

TNM has accessed a chilling 16-minute audio. Weeks before 20-month-old Arshith was tortured to death in Kerala, his grandmom called the Child Protection office with clear warnings. @harithajohn1 and @AzeefaFathima on how the system failed.

Wish it wasn't AI
Waited for 2 hours yesterday early morning to click this pic, because I'm super excited to announce that @shoffr_in is now available in Hyderabad! 🥳
Of all the city launch requests we've gotten over the past 3 years, Hyderabad has been the most popular one perhaps because of similar airport dynamics and the quality of choices available.
We're launching today with a small fleet of 15 BYDs, and this will hopefully grow to 50 by June end. For now, I request you to please book us 1-2 days in advance (whether it's airport transfers, hourly rentals, or outstation) so that we can deliver the same gold standard ride experience to you in Hyderabad.
Most of you already know that we don't do any marketing and have only grown via word-of-mouth - this has only been possible because of your love and support, and I'm so grateful for that ❤️ Thank you again for trusting us, for giving us another chance when we've screwed up, and for constantly rooting for our growth and success!
If you've enjoyed the Shoffr experience, please share this update with your friends and family in Hyderabad 🙂 And if you're a corporate with a focus on sustainability / becoming greener, please leave a comment here or e-mail [email protected].
Launching Shoffr in Hyderabad is special for both @kislayverma and me, as this is where we first met while working at D.E. Shaw & Co way back in 2011. We both have so many fond memories (and some blurred ones) of this city, and it's amazing to see how it's developed since then. Thank you, Hyd, for all the love and opportunities you've given us - can't wait to see what's in store next!

Crossing the Musi everyday for the past 11 years does make you obsess over it.

4 years ago, I joined @thenewsminute as a young journalist. It didn’t just teach me to report with care — it shaped how I think, question, and see the world. I couldn’t have asked for a better first newsroom.
Proud to be here as #TNMTurns12

I spend most of my days thinking about how our journalism reaches you — the stories you open, the newsletters you wait for, the work you share. But sustaining independent journalism is the real task.

TNM turns 12. I’ve spent 11 years here, almost its whole journey, and a part of mine. A decade of learning, failing, growing. Stories that stayed with me long after filing.
Proud to grow with @thenewsminute ❤️

As a freelance journalist, I simply cannot be more grateful to have a place like @thenewsminute to work with
There are very few newsrooms like TNM in India. It’s not just a workplace, TNM has helped me find my faith in work and craft

When I was in university, @thenewsminute was one of the very few organisations that covered the death of Rohith Vemula extensively, with all the sensitivity it required - bringing out the nuances of caste and the just demands made by the students.
