way government controls the media results in misleading the people
from the actual scenario. In the case of Sushant Singh Rajput (SSR),
his suicide was highlighted for months, whereas the media diluted
the fundamental issue of the downfall of GDP and other essential
matters to maintain the current government’s image. During the SSR
case, it was also visible the role of NIA and CBI, how they were also
part of the whole sham in misleading people into believing that it
was some kind of murder and how drugs were involved throughout
the whole time, amongst the celebrities.Role of judiciary in giving
priority to high profile cases also questions whether the Judiciary is
also under the control of the government. When Arnab Goswami was
arrested for abetment to suicide case, he was bailed within a week of
hearing in court, whereas in the case of Activist Stan Swamy, when
he demanded a straw for drinking water in jail, as he had Parkinson
disease. His point was heard and kept pending for months in the
court. We cannot question the Judiciary every time as it is the last
resort for everyone, and it holds and protects the constitutional
values.
In the months that followed, the Modi government retaliated to
the utmost, claiming the protests were a conspiracy against the Indian
State. The result was an overtly biased investigation with around
