On Tuesday, the Election Commission said all was well:

The 14 objections by two of its three members were "suggestions," every decision was "unanimous."

With in 48 hours, on Saturday, it issued NINE decisions. Read them against the 14 notes. It's a U-TURN, not in what it says, but in what it does.

And it still leaves some hard Qs unanswered.
Stay with me.

Raj Kamal Jha has once told me, "if you don't remember four of your stories and people don't remember two of them, you are not a journalist".

With the kind of investigation done by my colleague Ritika Chopra, on ECI, you go to basics again and start afresh.

Sharing the earlier post of 21st Sept 2026 again :

We apologise for the statements contained in our earlier communication concerning the circumstances surrounding the unfortunate demise of Sahil.

The details and circumstances leading up to the incident remain subject to investigation by the appropriate authorities. In view of the ongoing investigation, it was inappropriate to have set out or characterised details relating to the events preceding his demise before they had been duly established through the appropriate investigative process.

Hello @noidapolice , could you please respond? I see no action from the police or cybercrime department despite repeated follow-ups. Is everyone too busy with VIP movement? This lack of action and accountability is extremely disappointing.

[Rahul Kumar 🇮🇳 @Journorahulk]

11 days. Multiple CEIR traceability updates. Still, my stolen. iphone 15 remains untraced. Noida Police Cyber Crime Department has received the updates repeatedly, yet no visible action has followed. @noidapolice , @DCPCentralNoida How many more updates will it take for action?

[Rahul Kanwal @rahulkanwal]

In shock at the passing of Network18 political journalist Payal Mehta @payalmehta100

I remember seeing Payal in action many a time in Parliament and at big political events. She always seemed to have the determination to go the extra mile, to make that extra effort — the quality that makes a journalist stand out in a crowd.

You tend to remember the reporter who breaks a story or lands an interview you wish your own team had got. Over the years, Payal often landed scoops we wished had been ours.

Thoughts and prayers with her family, friends and colleagues.

Om Shanti. 🙏

CEIR has received my phone’s traceability report and sent it to the Cyber Crime Police for further action. However, when I contacted the concerned officer and police stn, they were unaware of it. Could you please direct the officer to take appropriate action? @DCPCentralNoida

5 days since my iPhone 15, worth Rs 91,000, was stolen at Mangal Market, under Noida Sector 142 Police Station. I filed complaint within minutes, yet @noidapolice continue to dilly-dally. Locals say 8–10 phones stolen weekly. No warning, no crackdown. How long will this continue?

[Rahul Kumar 🇮🇳 @Journorahulk]

@DCPCentralNoida @noidapolice Thank you very much!

[Surya Prakash @surya0131]

Please act on this @noidapolice We are facing so many incidents daily.
