Exclusive. ECI’s internal records of 2024 elections: On 51 seats of Maharashtra, Haryana and J&K, votes counted differed from votes cast. ECI rules say such mismatch should trigger probe into possible rigging.

British officials advised ministers not to “engage formally” with Vantara, the Indian zoo founded by Anant Ambani, according to internal documents obtained under the UK Freedom of Information Act by Mongabay and The Guardian. The emails, from July, cite “reputational sensitivities” and ongoing compliance proceedings. The UK is chairing the CITES Standing Committee in Geneva from November 2-6, where India’s compliance with wildlife import rules is under review.

Today we are revisiting M Rajshekhar’s 2024 investigation which looks at how Vantara went from a shelter for abused elephants to a facility holding more than 4,700 animals inside Reliance’s Jamnagar refinery complex. It examines the international sourcing of endangered species as well as changes to India’s wildlife laws.

Maharashtra faces the worst drought it has in over 50 years.

At least 10 farmers have taken their lives in a week.

On Oct 31, the Maha govt spent 20 crore for the inauguration of the Simhastha Kumbh Mela. It celebrated a Guinness Record that evening for most number of “dia rotations”.

That same evening, farmer Tikaram Chavan took his own life in Yavatmal.

A crushing drought, 19 tweets and 20 crore: I report for @thewire_in.

My latest documentary for @BusinessInsider

The city of Sivakasi in India makes 90% of the country's firecrackers, but every year, dozens of people die in accidental explosions at factories across the region ahead of holidays like Diwali and New Year's.

[The Indian Express @IndianExpress]

When factory workers are taken to a private hospital and ESI paperwork comes later, reporting of the accident gets delayed, making disability claims harder and leaving some injuries out of the official count.

Five elephants from Assam reached four temples in Tamil Nadu in Sept 2026.

What if we told you they were gifted by the BJP government in Assam to a private trust run by people with close BJP links? Story by @mrajshekhar

#FreshTake | Millennials were called apolitical; Gen Z is written off as smartphone-obsessed. But India's history of student movements suggests that young people have never been as disengaged as they are made out to be.

Thousands of fake voters were inserted in Pilibhit’s voter rolls after SIR. We found that ECI’s rules and software leave voter data across India vulnerable to Pilibhit-like fraud.

[Sumedha @TweetSumedha]

In Pilibhit, ECI officials manipulated voter rolls at a breakneck speed. @reporters_co analysed the metadata of the ECI's voter database & found:

1. On a single day, names of 656 voters were modified in 7.4 minutes. That’s 89 voters a minute, or one every 0.7 seconds.

1.86 is the number of fingers lost per worker 😱
