The viral CCTV footage of police lathi-charge took place on the first floor.
The video played by @IndiaToday - where students are barricading a door - was from the second floor of the reading room. But @IndiaToday portrayed it as the precursor to the lathi-charge. 2/4

The channel almost justified the brutality - students were called 'rioters' who blocked the door and forced the police to break it open and thrash students who were carrying stones, which was also a lie. 3/4

.@IndiaToday and the channels that followed suit for the sake of 'breaking news' tried to cause irreparable damage at a time when students are prominent targets of hate and violence.
