Less than a handful of news outlets have consistently reported on the weaknesses in the Bhima Koregaon case.
We were writing about the fabrications in the police's case as early as September 2018

We reported on the sheer absurdity of the so-called "Maoist" letters that a US-based forensics firm has concluded were planted on Rona Wilson's laptop through malware

If you were moved by the Citizenship Act protests

If you went out to take part in them

If you felt hope

Please read these stories to see what people like you went through in Delhi this summer

#Thread
“Every time the bell rang – and that was rare at that time because nobody would really come to the house – my friend would be like they [the police] have come for you... There were days I couldn’t go to bed because of my anxiety.”

The police would constantly grill him about the other protesters he had spoken to over the phone. “I said sir normally meri baat hui thi. We had general chats. He replied ‘Bhosdike chutiya samajh ke rakha hai kya humein? Do you think we're idiots?’”

A silent crackdown has been sweeping through India's capital.

Such is the fear that few are willing to speak about it.

#Thread
As you know, the Delhi Police has built a case blaming the communal violence that took place in February on a conspiracy by Citizenship Act protestors to overthrow the Modi government.

The case has been criticised as a witchhunt against the protestors.
21 people have been arrested in the case.

15 charged so far – including under the draconian anti-terror law UAPA.

A summary of the police’s charges here: scroll.in/article/974904…

It is one year since the NRC was published in Assam.

Nearly two million people were left quasi-stateless.

What happened to them?

@psychia90 has a series of reports.

#Thread
One year later, those left out of the Assam NRC are yet to receive their rejection orders, needed to appeal against their exclusion in foreigners tribunals.

scroll.in/article/970901…
Life as an 'NRC reject' comes with social humiliations, legal deprivations.

Can't buy land or take up government jobs.

Weddings have been cancelled, membership to groups nearly revoked.

India is holding its first commercial coal mine auctions bang in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic.

Coal mining states stand to lose. Here's how.

#Thread
Loss of forest cover, communities face displacement, yet the coal mining states haven't been consulted – as Jharkhand has stated in a suit filed in the Supreme Court.

The coal mining states stand to lose even in terms of revenues.
Economic conditions are likely to depress the bid offers in the coal auctions – which makes it even more important for the Modi government to ensure the offers do not fall below a certain threshold by fixing an appropriate floor benchmark.

Here's where things get interesting.

Delhi Police wants you to believe that the February violence was the outcome of a sinister conspiracy by Citizenship Act protestors.

But where is the evidence?

#Thread
This week, Delhi Police filed an affidavit in court alleging CAA protestors were willing to “execute a secessionist movement in the country by propagating an armed rebellion against the lawfully constituted government of the day”.
This, after it said in many chargesheets that the worst riots in 4 decades in the national capital were "a consequence of a deep-rooted conspiracy which was hatched under the garb of democratically opposing the Citizenship Act.”

You've been reading about the purported WhatsApp conversations of Delhi rioters.

We took a deep dive.

#Thread
If accurate, the transcripts submitted by the police in court provide a vivid, chilling account of the way communal violence unfolded in Delhi in February.

@VijaytaL and @ShoaibDaniyal report

scroll.in/article/966775…
Purported conversations between the rioters shows that they consider the Delhi Police as an ally, rather than a force they should be fearful of.

“We don’t need the police. There are enough Hindu brothers to f**k their mothers.”
