Under the law, similar to the one in UP, the child if found guilty could be ordered to pay compensation to his neighbour. It will happen without a formal criminal investigation that requires a police investigation, a prosecution and a trial before a proper court that follows procedures and offers safeguards under IPC.
We are facing a critical moment. While we struggle to look for funds to pay our journalists, our crisis deepened after the tax authorities revoked our non-profit status last month, claiming that journalism does not serve a public purpose.
This decision threatens our ability to fund fearless, investigative reporting.
But we stand by our belief: that journalism, when done right, is a vital public service for our democracy, one that holds power to account.
Now, more than ever, we need your support. If you believe journalism is a public good, stand with us. Every contribution matters. Help keep our independent reporting alive.
