Indian Media: Hindus are evil- Part 1

Here is the first person account by the victim's father:

The girl was raped by a bus conductor. Some people found them in a compromising position in a public place and handed over them to police. It was confirmed that the girl was raped. After her death, Salim was arrested following a complaint by her father of rape and abetting in the suicide of a minor.

Let's see how Indian Media presented the incident:

TOI:


Girl commits suicide after alleged humiliation

MANGALORE: In a tragic fallout of moral policing in the city, a teenaged girl allegedly committed suicide after suspected Sangh Parivar activists
publicly humiliated the girl for being friend with a Muslim boy and handed both of them to police.

Sixteen-year-old Ashwini, a student of class ninth at the Aikala High School in Kinnigoli, along with her friend had gone to Maroor near Moodabidri in a bus on Tuesday afternoon.

A group of suspected Sangh Parivar activists stopped the bus and took them to Maroor police station. Police then called Ashwini's parents and handed her over to them.

What a clever use of words like: allegedly, suspected, friend !
A bus conductor who is an adult and raped a minor girl of course is a friend.




Lets see how the Hindu Presented it:


" Schoolgirl commits suicide

MANGALORE: A 15-year-old schoolgirl hanged herself to death at Mulky in Dakshina Kannada on Wednesday morning after she was publicly humiliated by a suspected Hindutva fringe group, according to eyewitness accounts. Superintendent of Police N. Sathish Kumar, however, denied the involvement of any group in her death. "
