Dear reader,

It has been five years since the Delhi riots – five years of legal battles, unanswered questions and deliberate obfuscation of the truth. Our recent reports reveal the stark reality: survivors still struggle for justice while those in power remain shielded.

1) WATCH: A group of Muslim men brutalised by the police, forced to sing the national anthem, are still fighting for recognition of their suffering.

2) READ: The so-called ‘conspiracy’ case built by the Delhi Police crumbles under scrutiny.

3) WATCH: Banojyotsna Lahiri, researcher, activist and the partner of jailed activist Umar Khalid, speaks to Scroll about how the past five years have been.

4) READ: One family’s five-year struggle to simply lodge an FIR against BJP leader Kapil Mishra highlights the deep rot in our justice system. 

These stories would never see the light of day without our belief in rigorously reported, thoroughly fact-checked independent journalism. At Scroll, we investigate the stories others ignore and hold the powerful accountable, but doing this work is becoming harder than ever.
