📢 For days, there has been outrage over legal notices sent to digital rights groups @internetfreedom and @SFLCin Turns out not only is the notice sent in the name of the RSS fake, even the purported Delhi Police communication to X is fabricated. @sighyush reports: scroll.in/article/1096912/do…

“What’s my offence? Why are you detaining me?” My colleague @ShoaibDaniyal was simply standing on the road in a South Delhi locality, waiting for a taxi, when he was picked up by Delhi Police.

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.

Vithya Ramraj has broken PT Usha’s decades-old national record in the 400m hurdles at the Asian Games. In 2023, Ramaraj told @Johanna_Deeksha how her school Physical Education teacher spotted her and her sister’s potential and encouraged them to pursue athletics despite the school’s lack of facilities.

Found out that @anjanaomkashyap is claiming she was misquoted in a @thecaravanindia profile. Every direct quote was played back to her as a matter of professional courtesy, on email. She called to request a minor change in one, it wasn't this quote. youtube.com/watch?v=v3yWD1Uh…

Last month, 13 men accused in 2006 Mumbai train blasts were acquitted. One of them was Kamal Ansari. He spent 16 years in jail before he died in prison during Covid. Ansari's friends & family visited his grave and read out the court judgement that declared his innocence

Four days ago, I completed 10 years as a journalist :) and a large part of the decade has been spent covering education. This story is the first in a series investigating the education system - this one looks into NAAC, the accreditation body. rb.gy/19qki0

Scroll's legal coresspondent Vineet Bhalla read >30,000 pages of chargesheets. It took him three months. Five years since Delhi riots, read the most comprehensive piece of reporting on Delhi Police's case against the leaders of the anti-CAA movement. scroll.in/article/1079476/fi…

India's forgotten war, in the forests of Bastar, has seen a major turn this year. After decades of being on the defensive, the security forces have wrested an edge over the Maoists. I spent a few days in Bastar to understand what has changed, and how. scroll.in/article/1074542/wh…
