Where it stands

The story so far

  1. Update 43 days later

    India’s voting-rights protest leaders face five days’ custody as court scrutiny waits

    Renewed detention at Jantar Mantar sharpens the gap between judicial protections and practical protest access, while the huge voter-roll omission tally demands careful qualification.

    Still open after this report

    • There is still no reconciled weekend detention roster or verified detention-centre total.
    • Comprehensive compliance on barricades, services and professional access remains unestablished. The earlier journalist’s field account still lacks a verified recording time; harassment allegations have no new corroborated finding.

  2. Update 382 days later

    Delhi’s Metro reopened. The Supreme Court still wants answers.

    Metro access resumed before Sunday’s hearing. The court’s intervention asks a different question: were the restrictions lawful, and was its earlier order obeyed?

  3. Update 245 hours later

    156 Paper Leaks, 'Zero Convictions': How a Student Uprising Crashed Into the PM's Doorstep

    Rahul Gandhi and dozens of opposition figures were detained in New Delhi on July 21 after a three-hour sit-in over a police crackdown on the Cockroach Janta Party movement. The protests, ignited by exam fraud, have become one of the biggest challenges to Modi's second term.

    Still open after this report

    • The exact injuries, if any, sustained by Gandhi during the scuffle — reporting describes a heated argument and a punch reference from Gandhi himself, but no outlet independently confirms bleeding or a specific wound.
    • The specific casualty counts from the July 20 lathi-charge (injured, detained) — opposition figures cite figures, but the supplied reporting does not enumerate them.
    • The precise venue chain of post-detention processing (stadiums, police stations) for those taken into custody.

  4. Update 1

    More Than 50 Hurt, 100 Detained as Delhi Police Smash the Cockroach Janta Party's Parliament March

    Lathis, tear gas, stone-pelting and barricade after barricade: a day of chaos in central Delhi over NEET exam irregularities and the demand that Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resign.

    Still open after this report

    • No verbatim police or government explanation of the force used beyond the "dispersed professionally" line.
    • No confirmed Section 163 order text, no confirmed count of metro stations closed, no confirmed hospitalisation details for Wangchuk in the reporting.
    • No confirmed answer from the Centre to the CJP's demands.
