A new low in fake journalism to shield Tahir Hussain, immediately after he surrendered and police started hunting for his absconding brother. Since I am one the "two journalists" being accused by laundering agency, let me respond point by point. 1/n
@newslaundry @OpIndia_com
@newslaundry @OpIndia_com
.@newslaundry accuses @OpIndia_com for mentioning location of temple as Chand Bagh in first (of two) reports instead of Moonga Nagar. Chand Bagh and Moonga Nagar are just a drain apart. Since Chand Bagh is a bigger locality, that is how many people refer to the place for ease.2/n 
In fact entire media has referred to the place of Tahir Hussain's ominous building and Ankit Sharma's brutal murder as Chand Bagh. However, technically it is Khajoori Khas which is diagonal to Chand Bagh. Will now @newslaundry accuse every media house of fake reporting? 2/n
.@newslaundry claims that @SwarajyaMag and @OpIndia_com reports are unreliable because they did not interview priest or divulge names of sources of claim that Shiv Temple was attacked.
One, why is statement of priest necessary when structure itself shows attacks. 3/n

Building next to it (technically same structure sharing common wall) was gutted completely. Walls of temple still have signs of fire. Shani temple facing lane is damaged. How testimony of priest even matters? Why will he risk life by angering those @newslaundry is defending? 4/n
.@newslaundry claims Hindus were also pelting stones. Why will they not defend themselves? But Islamist mob also pelted petrol bombs that completely gutted the structure next to Shiv Mandir. Hindus did not have anything to defend against it. 5/n
How is @newslaundry so sure that mob that killed Ankit Sharma, attacked Mandir, burned every Hindu structure possible so secular? Given that they hurriedly reported this after Tahir was arrested, this must be probed.
And if mob is so secular, probably they gutted mazaar.

It seems @newslaundry has inside info on movement of mob. Police needs to probe.
However Durga Fakiri Mandir is close to Wazirabad Main Road. Violence happened further inside which was most ideal - next to drain to dump bodies, a building at disposal, and slums to hide. 7/n

What is tragic is that @newslaundry has not shed even crocodile tears for Dalit in Shiv Mandir lane, who lived in shop next to Shiv Mandir. And in another report, it tries to nitpick on statements of Ankit Sharma's near ones to make mockery of his death and defend Tahir mob. 8/n
This is what happened to building that shares wall with Shiv Mandir. And @newslaundry is sure that this mad mob was secular, even if murderous on Hindus.
