The arrest of Telangana journalists for content about CM Reddy has incited opposition backlash and raised press freedom concerns.

Telangana Journalists' Arrest Ignites Press Freedom Debate

The arrest of journalists in Telangana over content on CM Reddy spurs backlash from opposition, questioning press freedom under Congress.

Telangana journalists arrested amid controversy involving CM

Journalists in Telangana face arrest over content about CM Reddy, sparking political backlash over press freedom concerns.

Two Telangana journalists, Pogadadanda Revathi, the Managing Director of Pulse News, and reporter Thanvi Yadav, were arrested on Wednesday by the Cyber Crime division of Hyderabad Police.
Their arrests follow accusations of disseminating allegedly offensive content about Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy.
A third individual, identified as the user behind the X account 'NippuKodi,' has also been detained in connection with the case.
The arrests stem from a complaint filed by the Congress' state social media unit chief.
The charges against them include publishing obscene material, organized crime, and criminal conspiracy, alongside spreading rumors intended to incite hatred and provoke disorder.
Controversy centers on a video posted on the 'NippuKodi' X account, featuring an interview by a Pulse News reporter in which the interviewee reportedly makes "derogatory" and "abusive" statements about the Chief Minister.
The complaint argues this constitutes a "highly provocative" act with the potential to incite violence, labeling the post as a "deliberate attempt by Pulse TV to defame and spread propaganda."
The arrests have sparked a vehement backlash from the opposition BRS, which was in power before the Congress' unexpected win in the 2023 elections.
KT Rama Rao of the BRS criticized the Congress for displaying "intolerance of criticism" and fostering an "extreme level of intolerance."
Speaking to NDTV, Rao remarked, "It feels like a state of Emergency has returned in Telangana."
In a detailed X post, Rao condemned the circumstances of Ms. Revathi's arrest, purportedly involving a police raid on her home at 5 am, as indicative of an "Emergency-style rule" under Congress.
He termed Ms. Yadav's arrest "atrocious" and highlighted concerns over press freedom in Telangana.
"The arrest of journalists for sharing a video featuring a farmer discussing his hardships under the Congress government underscores this government's repressive regime. Is this the constitutional rule Rahul Gandhi speaks of?" Rao questioned on X.
Interestingly, Ms. Revathi faced similar arrest circumstances during BRS tenure.
Subsequently, Rao took a swipe at Rahul Gandhi in another post, alluding sarcastically to the Congress leader's campaign habit of carrying a red-bound Constitution copy.
In response, BJP's Shehzad Poonawalla criticized the Congress for arresting a senior journalist simply for "highlighting the struggles and frustrations of Telangana's farmers."

The Maharashtra government has already ordered a probe by a special investigation team (SIT) into the alleged murder.

Scribe murder case: Maharashtra govt to give ₹25 lakh aid to kin of deceased

The Maharashtra government has already ordered a probe by a special investigation team (SIT) into the alleged murder.

The Maharashtra government on Sunday a financial aid of Rs 25 lakh will be given to the kin of journalist Shashikant Warishe who was mowed down by an SUV allegedly driven by a land dealer in Ratnagiri district.
The government will also give a permanent job to the son of the deceased, Ratnagiri district guardian minister Uday Samant said.
"A financial aid of Rs 25 lakh will be provided to journalist Warishe's family. Rs 10 lakh will be given from the chief minister's relief fund and Rs 15 lakh from other sources," Samant told reporters.

He said various organisations of journalists have been demanding that the government help the family of Warishe comprising his grandmother and son.
Warishe (48) was mowed down by an SUV allegedly driven by land dealer Pandharinath Amberkar at Rajapur, some 440 km from Mumbai, on February 6. He died in the hospital the next day.
Amberkar, arrested for murder, allegedly used to threaten any person who opposed land acquisition for a proposed refinery in the area.
An article written by Warishe against Amberkar had appeared in a local Marathi newspaper on the morning of the incident.
The Maharashtra government has already ordered a probe by a special investigation team (SIT) into the alleged murder.

Madhya Pradesh police have registered a case of forgery and public mischief under various sections of IPC and the IT Act against three journalists over a news report on a man who was forced to take his ill father to hospital on a pushcart.

MP: 3 journalists booked over news report on man taken to hospital on pushcart

Madhya Pradesh police have registered a case of forgery and public mischief under various sections of IPC and the IT Act against three journalists over a news report on a man who was forced to take his ill father to hospital on a pushcart in Bhind in the absence of an ambulance. 

An investigation committee formed by the district administration comprising officers from the revenue and health departments claimed that Gaya Prasad's son Puran Singh did not call for an ambulance.&nbsp;

Bhind police in Madhya Pradesh have registered a case of forgery against three journalists over a news report on a man who was forced to take his sick father to hospital on a pushcart in Bhind in the absence of an ambulance.
Following a complaint filed by the health department's <a href="editorji.com/india-news/rajiv-gandhi-assassination-convict-nalini-moves-sc-seeking-early-release-1660282685178">Medical Officer Rajiv Kaurav</a>, a First Information Report (FIR) was registered on August 18 against journalists Kunjbihari Kaurav, Anil Sharma and NK Bhatele, Daboh police station's head constable Kamlesh Kumar said on Monday.
They have been booked under Indian Penal Code Sections 420 (forgery) and 505 (public mischief) and relevant provisions of the Information Technology Act, he said.
As per the FIR, the complainant said these journalists published and aired a news on August 15 that the family of Gaya Prasad (76) had to take him on a handcart as an ambulance was not made available to them and the victim did not receive the benefits of government schemes.
After publication and broadcast of the news, the district administration constituted a committee of revenue and health officials for an inquiry into the news report, the FIR said.
The committee found the news report to be false as Gaya Prasad's son Puran Singh said they did not call for the ambulance and his father and family have been getting the benefits of government schemes, like old age pension, according to the FIR.
Besides, the family had taken Gaya Prasad to a private hospital and not to a government hospital, the FIR said.
However, the elderly man&rsquo;s son Harikrishna and daughter Pushpa alleged that they had to push the cart for about 5 kilometres after not getting an ambulance despite calling for it, reported Scroll.in.

Anil Sharma, who works for a news channel, alleged that the district administration pressurised Gaya Prasad's family members by threatening them of stopping the welfare scheme benefits they are eligible for.
The FIR was filed on the false ground, he claimed.
Meanwhile, Leader of Opposition in the <a href="https://www.editorji.com/india-news/local/islamisation-of-jharkhand-need-president-s-rule-bjp-mp-on-friday-school-holiday-controversy-1659951029384">MP Assembly Dr Govind Singh</a> also alleged that the district administration pressured Gaya Prasad's family to make false statements against the journalists.
This is an act of suppressing the media's voice and the Congress will fight to ensure justice for these journalists, he said.

The ruling BJP's state working committee member Ramesh Dubey also condemned the act of registration of the FIR against the journalists and demanded action against the erring officials.
Bhind district Collector Sathish Kumar S could not be contacted for reaction in the matter.

An Odia television journalist was allegedly thrashed inside a police station and later leg-cuffed to his hospital bed upon falling unconscious, triggering a massive outcry that led to police ordering a probe by a DSP-rank officer into the incident.
The journalist, Loknath Dalei, claimed that he was thrashed because he had reported alleged corruption in Nilgiri police station area in Balasore district.
Dalei was arrested on Wednesday on the charge of assaulting a home guard in Nilgiri market on April 4. He denied it, while claiming that only he had hit the homeguard's vehicle unintentionally with his motorcycle.
The journalist claimed that on April 5, he was asked to come to Nilgiri police station, where his mobile phone was snatched away and he was thrashed by inspector-in-charge Droupadi Das.
When he fell unconscious due to police beating, he was admitted to Balasore district hospital, where his leg was cuffed with his bed by a policeman guarding him.
The incident came to light on Thursday after a video showing him leg-cuffed went viral on social media and was reported by news channels. His leg cuff was removed and he was later released from the hospital after the news spread across the state.
Balasore SP S S Mishra told reporters that the matter will be investigated by a Deputy Superintendent of Police-rank officer, and strict action will be taken against those found guilty.
The incident has triggered a massive outcry with Union minister Dharmendra Pradhan alleging that this was not the first such happening and earlier also, several Odisha journalists were harassed.
Balasore's BJP MP Pratap Sarangi, who spoke to the SP, condemned the incident and demanded strong action against the guilty.

A journalist and a few activists who were protesting against the arrest of an artist were detained and forced to strip down to their undergarments while in police custody in Madhya Pradesh's Sidhi district.
After the photos of the detained persons in underwear went viral on social media, two local police officials were transferred, a senior police official said on Thursday.
A local journalist and some activists were protesting "in unauthorised manner" in front of the Kotwali police station here against the arrest of Neeraj Kunder, director of Indravati Drama School, on April 2.
Kunder had been arrested for allegedly posting defamatory posts on Facebook using a false identity against local BJP MLA Kedar Nath Shukla and his son Gurudutt Sharan Shukla, said Kotwali police station in-charge Manoj Soni.
A group of activists along with local "YouTube journalist" Kanishk Tiwari staged a protest in front of the Kotwali police station, shouting slogans against MLA Shukla and Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan.
According to police officer Soni, they were detained for protesting without permission and disrupting peace, and released on April 3.
But on Thursday, the photos of the protestors in their underwear went viral.
Asked about the viral photographs, Soni said they were asked to strip down to underwear because sometimes people hang themselves in custody using their clothes and this was a preventive measure.
After the photos showing the protesters getting humiliated in this way caused outrage, Soni and sub-inspector Abhishek Singh were `line-attached' (shunted out from field duty) on the chief minister's order for leaking the photographs, said a senior police official.
Congress leader Ajay Singh, in a statement, condemned the treatment meted out to journalist Kanishk Tiwari.
“This behaviour of the cops with a journalist not only reflects terror of police, but also the BJP government's attitude towards the media fraternity and its thinking,” he said, terming the incident as a direct attack on “democracy's fourth estate.”
