BREAKING: #Updates on the killing of #farmer Navneet Singh at ITO.

An eyewitness told The Caravan that he saw the police firing from behind the grills of the Andhra Education Society. A group of police officials led by ACP HSP Singh have taken charge of the CCTV footage.
Eyewitnesses said they saw police personnel fleeing from the spot after Navneet was shot. An police official at the spot (name withheld) later said that his colleagues “ran away out of fear.” #farmerprotests #TractorRally
At around 4pm, the few farmers gathered around the body outside the AES, headed to the basement of the Andhra Education Society, along with an inspector from the IP Estate PS, to secure the CCTV footage of the shooting. #farmerprotests #TractorRally
Soon, 15-odd police personnel dressed in riot gear arrived with HSP Singh, ACP of the Tilak Nagar subdivision, who stayed outside the room. The police forced the farmers out. An police officer in riot gear took the CCTV tape, hid it inside his chest shield and walked out.
Every police officer, along with HSP Singh, left the AES afterwards from the back gate, without securing the crime scene in front of the main gate, where a pool of blood and a bloodstained cloth remain unsecured as of now. #TractorRally #farmerprotests

Five years ago today, #RohithVemula, a Dalit scholar, took his life after he and four students from the Ambedkar Students’ Association were suspended from the University of Hyderabad under pressure from Bandaru Dattareya, then a BJP MP, and Smriti Irani, then the HRD minister.
Replug | For around a month, there had been protests against the administration’s decision to bar these five young Dalit students from using their hostels and the university’s public spaces. But support for the protests was flagging. bit.ly/2G01NAt
On the evening of 16 Jan 2016, the mood on the campus was mellow. Two days earlier, the students tried to step up their demonstrations by occupying the administration building. But they were outmanoeuvred by the VC, Appa Rao Podile, who rallied some of UOH’s staff against them.

On the intervening night of 30 November and 1 December 2014, the judge BH Loya died under mysterious circumstances. At the time, he was presiding over the Sohrabuddin encounter case, in which Amit Shah was the prime accused. The Caravan's coverage of the death of #JudgeLoya:
Over numerous conversations with Loya’s family members, @niranjan_takle pieced together a chilling description of what #JudgeLoya went through while presiding over the Sohrabuddin trial, and of what happened following his death.

From November 2017: bit.ly/340RXsz
#JudgeLoya’s sister Anuradha Biyani said that Loya confided in her that Mohit Shah—then the chief justice of the Bombay HC—offered him a bribe of Rs 100 crore for a favourable judgment in the Sohrabuddin case.

Penkar was reporting on a protest concerning the alleged rape and murder of a teenaged girl in North Delhi. Students and activists had gathered outside the Model Town police station to demand the registration of an FIR in the case.
