For a Goan, being off the voters' list costs more than a vote.

The state's Mediclaim scheme, which covers dialysis, chemotherapy and transplants, is open only to voters.

For instance, one of the 97 has already been turned away from witnessing a property deed at the sub-registrar's office. His voter ID, he was told, no longer exists.

If one newspaper telling the truth can cause this much of a stir, imagine if the entire media had done its job. This government wouldn’t have survived five years.

[Sann @san_x_m]

In 2002 a woman living inside one of the most powerful religious organisations in north India wrote an anonymous letter.

She said the man at the top was raping his female followers.

Every big newspaper refused to print it. A man who ran a small evening paper in Sirsa printed it.

His name was Ram Chander Chhatrapati.

He was 53. His paper was called Poora Sach, which means the whole truth. It was a local Hindi evening daily, a few pages, in the same town as the headquarters of Dera Sacha Sauda.

The head of that Dera was Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh. He had millions of followers. Politicians visited him before elections.

On 31st May 2002, Poora Sach published the letter.

The threats started almost immediately. He kept publishing.

On 23rd October 2002 he ran another report on the sexual exploitation of women at the Dera.

The next evening, 24th October, 2 men came to his house on a scooter and shot him 4 times from close range.

He died of his injuries on 21st November, in a hospital in Delhi. Most national newspapers barely noticed.

His son Anshul was a young man. He went to court and asked for the case to be taken away from the local police and given to the CBI. The High Court agreed.

Then came 16 years.

In August 2017 Ram Rahim was convicted of raping 2 of his followers and sentenced to 20 years. His followers rioted across Haryana and Punjab. People died.

In January 2019, a special CBI court in Panchkula convicted Ram Rahim and 3 others of Chhatrapati's murder and sentenced them all to life. His former driver had testified that he heard Ram Rahim order it.

Anshul said afterwards that they had been waiting 16 or 17 years, and that they had suffered a great deal because the man they were fighting was so powerful.

That should have been the end. It was not.

On 7th March 2026, the Punjab and Haryana High Court acquitted Ram Rahim in the murder case. It upheld the life sentences of the 3 other men, including the man who fired the shots.

So the people who pulled the trigger are guilty. The court did not find it proved who sent them.

Ram Rahim is still in prison, serving his sentence for rape.

Anshul has taken the case to the Supreme Court. In August 2026 the court issued notice to Ram Rahim.

He has been fighting it since he was a young man. He is still fighting it.

His father printed one letter that nobody else would touch. Everything that happened to Ram Rahim afterwards began with that page.

Yesterday, @IndianExpress reported an unprecedented rupture inside the Election Commission: TWO of its three members objecting on record, 14 times in 10 months, to decisions taken without their knowledge.

Today, the second part of our investigation looks at the concern Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi flagged most often: Who really controls our electoral rolls?

We followed that question to Goa, where we found something deeply concerning.

Stay with me....

What I was told was that a top official’s wife’s name was there in two rolls simultaneously. One in Kerala and the other in Delhi.

When they realised it, they deleted the name in Kerala roll through backend from the database without going the legal route, through the ERO, and a ground level verification.

What was a locally verified roll is being turned into a centralised database with uncontrolled power of deletion and addition completely against the established law.

Awards are good but maybe the priority for Indian Sport should actually be to put more money into training and preparation, better coaching, sports science, nutrition & recovery for our athletes. Only then will we win more medals. The awards will always follow..

[Ritika Chopra @RitikaChopra__]

The Election Commission of India is under fire like never before.

The SIR has struck 13 crore names off draft rolls, putting the EC at the centre of intense public debate over its role in deciding who gets to vote — and who doesn’t.

HOWEVER, what nobody knew: through that same period, some of the sharpest questions were being asked from inside.

Out today, after months of work. Our #ExpressInvestigation 🧵

The video from Jamui, Bihar is deeply disturbing.

Two Class 10 students were stopped on a road. Harassed. Humiliated. Molested. A young girl, hands folded, begged to be let go while goons groped her and dragged her away.

Who gave these men the right to behave like this? This is not "culture." It is patriarchy: the belief that any man can police a girl's body, her movement, her choices.

When control is mistaken for culture, and such attitudes are normalised by Andhbhakts, mobs start believing they are the law.

Every individual in that video must be identified and prosecuted under POCSO, and justice must be swift. And if the incident happened on September 19th, why are the culprits not behind bars yet?

And the Bihar government must answer why a girl is not safe on a public road at 7 pm?

बिहार के जमुई का एक वीडियो बहुत बेचैन करने वाला है।

10वीं क्लास के एक छात्र और छात्रा को रास्ते में जबरदस्ती रोक लिया गया। उन्हें प्रताड़ित किया गया, अपमानित किया गया और छात्रा के साथ उत्पीड़न किया गया। बच्ची हाथ जोड़कर उसे जाने देने की विनती करती रही, मगर गुंडे उसे गलत तरीके से छूते और खींचतान करते रहे।

इन लोगों को ऐसी बदतमीज़ी करने का हक किसने दिया? यह "संस्कृति" नहीं है, यह patriarchy है: ये सोच कि किसी भी पुरुष का किसी लड़की के शरीर, उसके आने-जाने और उसकी पसंद-नापसंद पर नियंत्रण है।

जब नियंत्रण को ही संस्कृति मान कर 'अंधभक्त' ऐसी सोच को सामान्य ठहराते हैं, तो भीड़ को लगने लगता है कि वही कानून है।

उस वीडियो में दिख रहे हर व्यक्ति की पहचान होनी चाहिए और उन अपराधियों पर POCSO के तहत मुकदमा चलाकर उन्हें जल्द से जल्द सजा मिलनी चाहिए। और अगर ये घटना 19 सितंबर की है तो गुनहगार अब तक सलाखों के पीछे क्यों नहीं हैं?

और बिहार सरकार जवाब दे कि शाम 7 बजे कोई लड़की राज्य की सड़कों पर सुरक्षित क्यों नहीं है?

After travelling extensively across Gadchiroli, the only good school for Tribal children I came across was the one started by Dr. Prakash Amte.

It has a science lab, art studio, digital lab, library, and serves some of the healthiest meals I have ever seen being provided to students. This year 8 tribal students from this school cracked NEET and will become doctors.

After visiting the school, I was left with one question: if Dr. Amte can build and run a school like this, why can’t the govt do the same despite having lakhs of crores at its disposal?

Lastly, it was truly an honour to meet the Amte couple, who have dedicated nearly 50 years of their lives to serving Tribal communities and their children. Their work and commitment are truly inspiring.

VIDEO | PTI Exclusive: Gurugram hit-and-run victim Sia (Shivani Chauhan) speaks on the mahapanchayat being held in support of accused Kalyan Bainsla, says, "I don't understand this at all. Whatever is being done, is just to change the narrative. It is not about the community, where they belong or the state. Something wrong happened to me on the road, and it can happen to anyone. It is not about a female or male rider. Anyone can lose their life. We are taking a stand so that such incidents can be prevented in the future. It hurts me when we divide wrongdoings on the basis of community. When this incident happened, I did not know his name, where he belonged or his caste. This is not about caste. All these things being done to change the narrative are illogical. If we do not take strict action today, we will be responsible for leaving people free to kill others on the road."

Sharp Edge: We now live in an India where talk of justice is momentary and transient. Arrests are no more than photo opportunities. The guilty have no fear
Politically connected goondas can openly brag about assaulting people secure in the knowledge that they will soon get bail and be free. Mawaalis can run over women bikers on public roads & then blame the victim & tarnish her reputation
Politicians, policemen and judges act on behalf of the guilty & ignore the safety & security of ordinary citizens

You don't buy gold.
You don't travel abroad.
You do a car pool.
You sacrifice for the nation.

But we will burn Rs 50,00,000 worth of oil - in just one city - in a single day - to celebrate the birthday of a public servant.

Women wrestlers protested for months against government inaction, faced police aggression and had to approach the Supreme Court before complaints of sexual abuse against a BJP strongman were even registered. But do continue to gush about sports in the Modi era, dear #PVSindhu.

[Saurav Das @SauravDassss]

Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal’s proposal to ban any MP and MLA who gets elected on Party X’s symbol and later defects to Party Y for money or under pressure should be welcomed. He calls for 10 years ban.

Point 5 of CJP’s first demand charter released by @abhijeet_dipke sought the same thing, but much stricter—a ban from holding ANY public office and contesting elections for 20 years.

Breaking political parties, bribing MPs with 50-100 crores, toppling governments is a fraud committed on the country. Such fraud should never happen. The Anti-Defection law is outdated. The ruling party has ensured its misuse in its lust for eternal power. The young will change this! 🇮🇳🪳✊🏻

The front page of the The Hindu today carries a ad by a convicted rapist. What a low! A national newspaper giving space to a rapist to defend himself. Will remember this happened on your watch @nambath.

[Shirish Kunder @ShirishKunder]

You may think a goon confessing on camera is career suicide. But for someone who grew up watching goons become leaders, it's not a confession. It's an audition tape.
