Reporters Without Orders Ep 248: Jail despite bail, high-stakes MCD polls
A reporters’ podcast about what made news and what shouldn’t have.
This week, it’s an all-Newslaundry panel as Akanksha Kumar is joined by Prateek Goyal and Anmol Pritam.
The conversation begins with Prateek’s report on hundreds of undertrial prisoners who are languishing in Maharashtra’s prisons despite bail. Many don’t have the money or social connections to fulfil bail conditions. They talk about how there is a lack of data even though the government has issued directions to find a way to expedite bail for such prisoners.
The discussion moves to the MCD election campaign as Anmol and Akanksha share anecdotes from the ground. They discuss how a civic poll has turned into a high-stakes battle for both the BJP and the AAP.
This and a lot more as they talk about what made news, what didn’t, and what shouldn’t have.
Tune in.
