After condemning the crime and assuring justice, our "manoniyyo" did what he is known best for, his staple—injecting a dose of communal politics, as he declared that "the mob lynching had a communal angle".

#BaruipurRape & murder case: A 12-year-old Muslim girl was allegedly raped and murdered in the Surjyapur area of Baruipur, West Bengal. She left home on Saturday evening to run some errands but did not return. On Sunday, June 5, her body was discovered in a pond near her home.

A preliminary post-mortem report revealed that the girl had suffered severe injuries, confirming that she had been sexually assaulted. The report indicated that "she was alive when she was dumped in the pond," as it found evidence of "antemortem drowning with water in her lungs."

Former BJP leader Raja Singh has faced over 122 criminal cases, but rarely convicted. Why do case after case collapse in court? We examined more than 25 judgments, @PoojaPrasanna4 explains.

A video from Bangladesh, in which a man allegedly had his genitals severed by his wife, is being falsely shared as showing a Kerala father attacked by his daughters.

The video is not from Kerala, and the viral sexual abuse narrative is false. @Onkeyta_

Can paneer & soya replace eggs in mid-day meals? Experts say protein is only one part of the equation. Digestibility, amino acid profile & micronutrients are equally crucial. That's where egg has an edge. Here's the science behind the debate. @amarabati_b

In both cases, the allegation centred on consuming non-vegetarian food on the Ganga. But while charges got diluted in the June case, the March case saw additional serious offences invoked, keeping 14 Muslim men behind bars for over two months.

Five men accused of cooking chicken & drinking beer on the Ganges in Varanasi got same-day bail. In March, 14 Muslim men accused of consuming non-veg on a boat had spent over 2 months in jail.

How did the two cases unfold so differently? @Onkeyta_ tracks.

A Muslim Urdu teacher was slapped by a BJP leader in Telangana for teaching Urdu to students, despite Urdu being an officially recognized second language in the state. The incident took place in the presence of Telangana Police. Instead of taking immediate action against the alleged assailant, the police later detained the teacher.

The sheer insensibility. The ego. The hubris.

And history has shown that such arrogance of believing nothing is wrong, and that no one needs to answer for failure, is what leads to downfalls. It won't be any different with him.

One road, two standards, one solution: "Go to Pakistan."

On June 15, Union minister Kiren Rijiju observed that questioning the safety of Muslims in India was akin to maligning the nation. #AltNews recorded 6 incidents of anti-Muslim violence, intimidation, targeted harassment & hate in that same week. @onkeyta_

Sir Hassan Suhrawardy, after whom the road was named in the 1930s (years before the Calcutta Killings of 1946), was a renowned academic and surgeon. He was a two-time VC of Calcutta University. P Thankappan Nair's 'A History of Calcutta’s Streets' confirms this.

[Alt News @AltNews]

The claim was debunked by @AltNews in 2017 when 'Swarajya' published a 3000-word article based on the same falsehood. Now that the street has been renamed to Gopal Mukherjee Road, Bengal BJP & leaders like Amit Malviya, Arjun Singh, Keya Ghosh are amplifying it again.
