Day before yesterday I received a message on instagram from someone impersonating @kavita_krishnan. The profile had 805k followers & I didn't immediately doubt it.
A link was sent, I clicked it. It asked me to log into to Twitter and I did. Within an hour my twitter was hacked
Immediately after I realised my twitter was hacked, I put up a post on instagram that my twitter account has been hacked.
Within 10mins I was logged out of my Instagram account as well. Whenever I tried to log in, it said account doesn't exist but others could see my profile.

A thread on the Hathras gangrape and murder case.
Yes, in Sept 2020 an extraordinary act of violence took place but it doesn't end there.
This is the story of what happens to a dalit family after they fall out of the news cycle.
You can find all our stories and videos here.
On Sept 14, Asha (name changed) was found naked, bleeding and barely alive.
She had apparently been gangraped.
After 2 weeks of fighting for her life, she died. Alone & quietly.
