The New India said activist Rajat Singh was booked after exposing poor conditions in four UP government schools and that YouTubers were banned from reporting inside schools. The FIR over his Deoria school video is confirmed, and restrictions plus similar cases spread across several districts, but the FIR also cited BNS 329(4), the measures concerned…
No comments on Rajat Singh’s Deoria school video led to an FIR as UP expanded restrictions on school filming
A July 2026 reel shows Nitin Gadkari saying strict monitoring on the Delhi–Dehradun project should prevent road complaints and contractor wrongdoing. NHAI nevertheless acknowledged a cave-in on the newly opened corridor on 1 July, attributing it to water stagnation and incomplete drainage arrangements; the incident tests the gap between monitoring claims and preventive accountability, but…
A July 2026 reel juxtaposes Nitin Gadkari saying technology lets him see even a single pothole from his chamber with footage of a vehicle struggling on a muddy road. NHAI does use laser survey vehicles, AI dashcams and other systems to detect road defects, but the reel does not identify the shown road well enough…
A viral reel excerpts Purav Jha’s 2026 satire “ALL IZZ HELL,” including the line asking whether an accused rapist will go to jail or become a leader. Election-affidavit analysis shows sitting lawmakers have declared rape and other crimes-against-women cases, making the accountability concern real — but allegations are not convictions, and the satire does not…
Farange’s 14 September 2026 reel mocks Narendra Modi’s claim that he does not seek credit, citing his image on school bags, ration packaging, COVID certificates and Operation Sindoor publicity. Several examples are documented and reveal a recurring tension between public-information needs and leader-centred government branding, while the reel’s claims that military personnel were absent from…
A 13 September Instagram reel shows a person wading through deep floodwater and mocks the slogan “phir ek baar NDA sarkar”, asking why Bihar has flooded again. Independent evidence confirms a severe September 2026 flood affecting millions and exposes Bihar’s persistent river-management and resilience challenge, but the reel does not establish that the NDA or…

The New India’s graphic cites a real figure: 75,443 of 82,782 West Bengal SIR appeals with recorded outcomes had resulted in inclusion/restoration, about 91%. But only a small share of the wider appeals pool had been decided, and the evidence reviewed does not establish the graphic’s allegation that voter removals and later restorations were a…
Swatantra Bhardwaj publicly claimed that political connections helped him avoid jail after a June 2026 Jantar Mantar assault. Delhi Police disputed the injury severity and denied interference; he was later arrested and remanded to judicial custody through 21 September, while the self-defence and political-protection claims remain unresolved and no guilt finding has been made.
The Samajwadi Party Media Cell used the real Swatantra Bhardwaj assault controversy to argue that BJP-linked spaces are governed by "goons" and poor law and order. The incident supports scrutiny of political access and policing, but it does not establish a party-wide pattern; Bhardwaj was later arrested and remanded to judicial custody, while political interference…
