29-yr-old Akshara was killed after a speeding private bus ran her over in Kochi on Nov 4. This is not the first time a private bus has been involved in such an accident. Watch this TNM video on the reckless driving of private buses in Kochi. youtu.be/j_QQrwVNbVU?si=34F-…

A 17-yr-old in Kochi took his father's Mercedes Benz on a midnight drive. Overspeeding, he hit a scooter, killing 55-yr-old Jayabalakrishnan. Did his father, a sessions judge, tamper with evidence? Watch @HarithaManav’s report youtu.be/hN8kloL7WVM?si=gWTG…

Men have been violent towards women long before the rise of alpha male films.  The question is not whether films create violent men, but what happens when cinema repeatedly presents brutality as an acceptable expression of male anger, power and love. @Jahnavi_R writes. thenewsminute.com/premium/wh…

Students were made to attend Amit Shah's Hyderabad rally. Akshara Junior College, Pragathi Mahavidyalaya and Karuna School of Nursing owe an explanation as to why, especially on a Monday, their students were brought to a political rally. Do read. thenewsminute.com/telangana/…

“If the police are pulling you by the neck, digging their nails into your body, what else is one supposed to feel but utter outrage?” What does it take to rage in public? @neha_aisa tells @NidhiSuresh_ Read the full profile. thenewsminute.com/news/neha-…

On the public anger against TV media: the average person on the street is not responding to individual reporters, they don't know their bylines or body of work— but what TV news has come to mean. And so it ceases to matter whether every channel has good reporters, ofc they do, but their presence alone cannot repair the damage done night after night on primetime. Owners and editors need to answer for what they have been putting on air, and their role in making the streets unsafe for their own anchors/reporters. Meanwhile, even the harshest critics of Godi must know what's unfolding now on the streets is HARASSMENT for clicks/content — the exact thing TV news channels promoted for TRPs. This is exactly what repulsed us about TV news, and this is qualitatively different from a protestor's RIGHT TO CHOOSE to disengage. If those of us in digital media support this content-baazi in the name of some comeuppance or even journalism, we're ushering in our own demise.

Anyone who gets detained will come out with serious doubts on whether @DelhiPolice's attempts at initimidation are working. My report from inside the now-infamous community centre at Pandwalan Khurd. newslaundry.com/2026/10/14/w…. cc: @svaradarajan, @Jayati1609, @Aakar__Patel.

The million-dollar question. Are the efforts by @BJP4India and @delhipolice to intimidate Indians working? If the detention centre at Pandwalan Khurd is anything to go by, nope, nada, nahin. (And, trust me on this. I was in there).
Beatings, seized phones, and detentions on the outskirts of Delhi. Read @mrajshekhar's chilling eyewitness account of a crackdown that appears to be fuelling the anger it seeks to contain. newslaundry.com/2026/10/14/w…

जिस सफेद कार को लेकर दिल्ली पुलिस ने बड़े बड़े दावे किए हैं कि उसमें लाठी डंडों जैसा कुछ नहीं था. जिसे क्लीन चिट दी गई. उस कार की पूरी कहानी-
A car that police seemingly failed to stop and check in CP on Oct 11 belongs to a man who had days earlier joined chants urging police to beat protesters. One occupant was filmed pulling sticks from the car. @tweets_prateekg, @ImAvdheshkumar and @Basantrajsonu trace the men who were given a free run against protesters. newslaundry.com/2026/10/14/p…

This is a very disturbing watch. @dhanyarajendran pieces together how close to 30 journalists were roughed up, assaulted and detained while covering protests. In some cases their cameras was illegally taken away. youtube.com/watch?v=hyQeuPIw…

This is an exhaustive list of accounts from journalists who were either detained, assaulted, or had their equipment damaged by the Delhi Police. There are around 30 accounts in total, with direct quotes from almost all of them. thenewsminute.com/news/over-…

We were detained at 3:15pm but it’s 9pm and Delhi police refuses to release detainees including minors. Women were let off but refused to leave till everyone was released.
