The ubiquitous image from West Bengal this election. People carrying documents in little bags, moving from one office to the other wanting their names back in.
What is driving people is not just the prospect of missing a vote. When the Supreme Court of India observed that those left out can vote the next time, it reduced the issue to an electoral
inconvenience. But on the ground, it is being experienced very differently.
For many, the voter list is not just about participation in an election. To find your name missing, without explanation, while others in your family remain, is to be pushed into a space of doubt. This anxiety runs through all conversations we had outside the tribunal. It’s like you’ve been negated by the state

Amazing Investigation by @SavyasachiAstha for @newslaundry.
I feel really awesome to say that Team Darshi could help build data pipelines that collect and organize records, that aided this investigation.
Please go and read the investigation!
🚨When companies go bust, who decides who gets the assets?
I looked at Adani Group’s insolvency record: nearly 3 in every 5 bids won, while creditors recovered just Rs 33,000 cr against Rs 1.31 lakh cr in claims.
But the wins are only a part of the story.
How did Adani become the biggest winner in India’s bankruptcy courts?
And did the process always follow a straight line — or take unexpected turns?
Read my investigation for @newslaundry to find out.

Special thanks to @sidhant_sarthak and Team Darshi, who built the data pipeline from all publicly available IBBI and NCLT records for this investigation.

Companies collapse. Assets change hands. Who gets them? How fair is the game?
I looked into how the Adani Group emerged as India’s largest corporate acquirer.
My investigation is out tomorrow on @newslaundry

"A young man who could not answer was put on trial, and the verdict was used to clear the man under investigation. That is not merely a media trial; it looks a lot like victim blaming"
@Stonerollin123 writes about how five days after Sahil Wakode, a second-year BTech student, died by suicide at IIT Bombay, News18 aired two segments built around CCTV clips from his exam hall.

In the seat Arvind Kejriwal lost by a thin margin, nearly 40% of voters added just before the 2025 polls have now been deleted in the SIR draft.
@AshwineSingh reported on what happened to these voters.

@AkankhyaAk7262 reported from Burari, where around 1.67 lakh names have been left out of the draft electoral roll after SIR.
What she found were long queues, confused voters and migrant workers trying to figure out what happens next.
