Not that I support the intention of cops to go at his restaurant in the first place, in the article I read, he swung his knife at the cop as well.
You definitely do not want to believe the cop versions of the story. Cops in India have been planting fake evidence in the activists phones and they will go any length to prosecute those who fight the system
This is the unfortunate reality of India; the government/police don't need to actually go to court. It can harass companies and executives by simply threatening to / actually carrying out unnecessary 'raids' through the tax department. The usual process is for the a bunch of policemen and beareaucrats to just show up unannounced; seal the office so that no one can enter or leave, and seize computers / phones, files a…

> Not that I support the intention of cops to go at his restaurant in the first place, in the article I read, he swung his knife at the cop as well. No the article says - Police "alleged" that he swung his knife as well, which he and his family denies. I don't know what really happened but it would be silly to solely rely on cop's version of events.

India is weird. It's not really called authoritarian (rankings don't classify it as such), but there are many similar stories of government dysfunction and overreach. Maybe someone else has a word for them?
Corrupt is an appropriate word for this kind of behavior. The government does not officially condone the behavior, and it would probably function well if the policies were followed as written. But instead people get some power and abuse it. India is not unique, many countries struggle with corruption.

Out of the payments done through Indian banks to altnews, the government is searching if there is a foreign IP address. The social media trolls are making an issue that altnews is being funded by terrorists from Syria and other countries
Any idea how much money came in from the so called terrorist wih Indian bank accounts with a foreign IP addresse? It's 2500$
It's a mere 2500$

While I have no sympathy for razorpay but I'd just like to point out that laws in India are much more heavy handed than a country like US. People are thrown in jail for social media posts and sometimes just for liking a social media post(1) Twitter has been having a very hard time operating in India too(2) and routinely censoring stuff so while IANAL just remember that things are very different in different parts of…

Not entirely true. - TV debates in India are charged and partisan. - Nupur Sharma was debating a man named Tasneem Rehmani. - Tasleem Rehmani said something denigrating towards a Hindu God (which is normal and typically goes unpunished and even unnoticed in India). - Nupur Sharma countered him by saying "Do not mock my religion. Do you want me to start talking about flying horses or the fact that your Prophet married…
> Islamic Whatsapp groups. > Prior to his arrest, he deletes several of his social media posts and tweets mocking Hindu Gods. You're literally peddling IT cell propaganda.
