We are a tiny newsroom but a determined one. We have been holding the ECI to account since July last year.

1/ECI’s SIR in Rajasthan deleted over 32 lakh voters.
@meherk___, @nidamominn and I found nearly 2 lakh declared “dead” were still listed as “active” in the Panchayat Electoral Roll, in our @reporters_co investigation.

Here's a story co-written by senior journalist and prominent voice @tongamrina and me. Do give it a read.

Three of my young colleagues were tipped off by @nikhilmkss about a scam of votes in Rajasthan. They drilled into the data to find 2 lakh voters that ECI declared dead but state commission said they are alive. Read my colleague @DikshyaKoirala7's summary 👇

Geku gave a hero's welcome to four prominent anti-dam activists—Adum Tayom, Omak Paron, Okut Paloh, and Oson Paron—who were released from jail after being detained by the government nearly a month ago under the stringent Arunachal Pradesh Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (APUAPA), 2014, amid ongoing opposition to the government's proposed 11,000-MW Siang Upper Multipurpose Project (#SUMP).

The @timesofindia has come out with the sarkari defense against @reporters_co investigation without citing the story or it's findings.
It's correspondent Siddhartha Dutta reached out to one of our writers yesterday to find holes in our investigation on behalf of the govt without disclosing what he was attempting - mounting an argument on behalf of the ECI against TRC.
Its ironic that the @ceorajsthan's tweet and TOI's own report prove the SIR has been flawed in the state.
Both the state and central voter roll when updated at the same time should have found the same voters alive, regardless of the voter base it started with. Because both ECI and state commission claim to have ground verified each voter.
You can't have a person declared dead on one list and alive on the other at the same time.
How can the same official find a voter dead for one list and literally days later find her alive for the other voter list.
In general, the legacy newsrooms who have thousand times more budgets than tiny orgs such as @reporters_co should not feel threatened by citing news organisation's work they are trying to diss. We are in different though overlapping businesses. One is in journalism, the other in media and advertising. Readers know who is doing which.
Nearly 2 lakh people declared dead in ECI’s SIR exercise in Rajasthan are found alive in the roll prepared by the State for ongoing panchayat elections.

To those who celebrate. Happy Diwali. To everyone, I pray and hope tomorrow is a little more gentler on us than yesterday. We @reporters_co are taking a break today. To ensure we come out even sharper on Monday, please consider funding investigative journalism. We have much more to tell next week.

रिपोर्टर्स कलेक्टिव ने वोट चोरी से लेकर अनेक मुद्दों पर शानदार रिपोर्ट्स करके वे सच सामने लाए हैं, जो कोई और न कर सका।
मेरी अपील है इस दीवाली @reporters_co के पेज पर जायें, उनकी वेबसाइट खोलें और उन्हें सपोर्ट करें, ऐसी संस्थाओं का ज़िंदा रहना ज़रूरी है।
शुरुआत मैंने ख़ुद से की है।

Molitics India @moliticsindia is a habitual plagiarist. And shameful at that. It's the second time the handle has blatantly ripped off the hard work of my @reporters_co colleagues. I hear it has done so with others as well.
As a non-profit we keep our investigations free for citizens to read and rely on donations to carry out our work.
It's quite obnoxious how this influencing and consulting agency, pretending to be in news and media, spends crores every year only to plagiarise others' hard work.
Dump the plagiarist, read the OG investigation by my colleagues here: reporters-collective.in/trc/…
Images: The company behind the handle, its annual expenses, its directors, and its plagiarised insta report.

Just amazing work @reporters_co and may someone be investigated and prosecuted eventually. And bureaucracy must know that there will be exposure and one day consequences.
So proud of independent media work on SIR !

The @ECISVEEP must carry out a physical check of these names declared “dead” by ECI but found live and eligible by the State Election Commission.
If true, even in a fraction of these 1.82 lakhs cases, it’s a scandal. One more scandal.

The ECI gets brutally exposed day after day. This is not just incomptence but a toxic combination of malfeasance and mischief.
