Update: Five years after Karnataka police said Paresh Mesta's death wasn't a case of murder, Now even CBI concludes it was an 'accidental death' and was because of drowning.
Remember how the death was given communal spin by BJP leaders and News Anchors? #PareshMesta
Here's how India Today invited BJP members who gave communal spin.
Here is what India Today tweeted questioning the then Karnataka Congress Govt :
"Karnataka government trying to influence investigation?"
BJP members wanted a CBI probe as it wasn't satisfied with Karnataka Police Probe. Wonder what they have yo say now as the CBI has concluded that it was accidental death and not a communal murder.
Do listen to Padmaja, She looks shocked after Police findings..
"Is the Govt and the Police going to explain how did Paresh die then?"
Rajnath Singh had targetted the then Congress Govt for his death. Amit Shah visited his house, says (our Karyakarta), This was refuted by his father that Paresh wasn't associated with any political party. Several BJP members met Rajnath Singh demanding NIA inquiry.
That the CBI has concluded that it was an accidental death and not a communal murder, Will the News Channel apologise, Will it the same BJP members and debate on CBI findings? Will the BJP members apologise?

There was this video of principal of Smt Joy Harris Girls Inter College from Agra viral with a claim that she was harassed and mentally tortured for being a Hindu. She blamed several Muslim Teachers and students from the college. It was widely reported by RW websites. Thread 👇
The viral video was later picked up by mainstream News Channels. Non of them bother to check with the other teachers or students. Infact the Principal in her videos named 3 Hindu teachers, But this was ignored.
The last time a News Anchor tweeted about Rupee/Dollar exchange rate was in 2013.
In other news, Rupee slips below 81-mark against US dollar for first time ever.
Old tweets of one more News Anchor who was depressed seeing Rupee Dollar exchange rate in 2013. Not anymore.
