Sushant Rajput case to Zubair arrest: The rise and rise of cop KPS Malhotra

“Time is not a factor. An old tweet becomes new just by a retweet. Police action is contingent upon when police takes cognisance of an issue,” KPS Malhotra, deputy commissioner of Delhi police, told the news agency ANI after the cyber crimes division he heads arrested Alt News cofounder Muhammad Zubair on Monday. Zubair’s arrest is under a cloud of suspicion, drawing condemnation from several press bodies, including the Editors Guild and the Press Club of India. The journalist was called for questioning in a 2020 case in which he has protection from arrest from the Delhi high court, only to be held for allegedly hurting religious sentiments and promoting enmity through a four-year-old tweet , which an anonymous tweeter who has since vanished from the social media platform apparently found offensive. Zubair’s is the latest high-profile case to be investigated by Malhotra, who was chosen to lead the cyber cell – officially Intelligence Fusion and Strategic Operations – last Septemb

Delhi University polls: Decoding first-time voters’ decisions

On the polling day of Delhi University’s student body elections on Friday, thousands of students casted their votes at both the collegiate and central student union levels. Several of these students were first-time voters. Newslaundry spoke to Delhi University students to understand the factors that decided the students’ votes. For several students, the parties’ manifesto, promises and issues addressed by the candidates were the deciding factors, while some others pointed to the use of money and muscle power. Aman, a student of Ramjas College, said, “We saw rampant use of money, caste and muscle power in these elections. I come from Bihar…I have witnessed this from my childhood. But I used to think it happens in Bihar because many are not literate there… After coming to Delhi University, I saw the same use of caste and money even here.” Watch.

Hafta letters: Caste census, Israel-Palestine conflict, Bajrang Dal

What does the job of a managing editor entail? Priyank *** Hi, your discussion on the Israel and Palestine issue was way better and informative than Charcha. In your discussion, Anand defined terrorist as per the UN and termed Hamas as a terrorist organisation. Then, according to the same definition, Bajrang Dal and the so-called cow vigilantes should also be called terrorist organisations. I want to know Anand’s views on it. Thanks.  Farqul Raizee *** Hi Team! In the previous Hafta, I found Anand’s argument for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine absurd. When you have a large neighbour who ‘expands for survival’, you will look for ways to preserve your sovereignty. An invasion because of this is unjustified. If China gets insecure due to India’s economic growth and invades India, can India be blamed? Perhaps this is why our Vishwaguru scuppered our economic growth with demonetisation - preemptively thwarting a Chinese invasion. Masterstroke, indeed! From the earlier Hafta, Mehraj’s
