Latest: Bora says at a press conference that she will not sign the peace bond before the magistrate. Report the magistrate's direction on documents only if an outlet confirms it.
AISA president Neha Bora appeared before the Special Executive Magistrate on Saturday and said she would not sign a Rs 10,000 peace bond. The magistrate directed police to give her lawyer the documents and allowed time to reply, a day after the Delhi High Court rejected her petition against the notice at this juncture and told the magistrate to give her all relevant material. Summary updated 28 Oct, 14:31 IST
Why it matters: The case bears on how far police and magistrates can use preventive powers against protest leaders, a question that affects anyone who joins a demonstration.
Winding down: no new coverage since 28 Oct. It will be archived on 4 Nov unless new coverage appears.
This matter is before the courts or under investigation. Nazariya reports what was said and alleged; it does not decide guilt or the outcome.
Why it matters: How India's voter rolls are revised decides who can vote in 2027; the dispute has moved from the Election Commission to the courts, the streets and diplomacy.

Headline before this update: Neha Bora refuses peace bond; magistrate orders documents shared
Summary before this update: The Delhi High Court on Friday rejected AISA president Neha Bora's petition against a Special Executive Magistrate's notice asking for a Rs 10,000 peace bond. Justice Subramonium Prasad said he was rejecting it at this juncture and told the magistrate to give her all relevant material.
Note before this update: Critical outlets stress protest rights and the petitioner's arguments, while neutral outlets report both sides and the court's directions.
“What's missing” before this update:
Based on 14 articles read in full. Scores describe each article's framing, not the outlet and not whether it is accurate.
Large outlets read: 6 of 15 (Times of India, Hindustan Times, The Hindu, Aaj Tak, ABP, Dainik Bhaskar).
Critical outlets stress protest rights and Bora's arguments, while neutral outlets report both sides and the court's directions.
Why: Frames a student leader's challenge to a police peace-bond notice mainly through her lawyer and petition, stressing civil liberties and Articles 19 and 21. Police grounds appear, but no police response in court.
Why: Court report giving both sides; touches civil liberties and protest rights against police preventive action, with the ASG's 'lumpen' remark quoted. Mild left lean from framing of protest rights; balanced sourcing.
Why: Centres on a student leader's right to protest and criticises preventive detention powers; Bora's lawyer's arguments get most space and the protest is framed around alleged SIR irregularities. Civil-liberties framing leans left.
Why: Leads with Bora's civil-liberties framing and her claims of police excess; the SIR protest context and scepticism of security-law use lean left, though the government's arguments are also reported.
Why: Frames the police notice as suppression of peaceful dissent, centres Bora's civil-liberties argument and SIR protest, and gives no police or government response, a left-leaning civil-liberties lens.
Why: Court report touching civil liberties and state power; petitioner's arguments get more space, but the judge's questions and Delhi Police's arguments are included. Mild civil-liberties lean, largely neutral.
Why: Reports hearing with both sides' arguments: court's civil-liberty remark and government's security case. Headline slightly foregrounds the court's question, but the article is balanced, so the score sits near the centre.
Why: Wire report of a court hearing giving both the petitioner's and the government's arguments; touches civil liberties and protest rights but without loaded framing, so it stays near centre.
Why: Court report giving both sides; touches civil liberties and security law (preventive bond, protest rights), but with balanced sourcing and no loaded wording, so the score stays near the centre, slightly left.
Why: Plain court report giving both the notice's legal basis and Bora's arguments. Touches civil liberties and protest rights, but without loaded wording or editorialising, so it sits near centre.
Why: Plain court report on a peace-bond notice to a student leader after a protest; touches civil liberties lightly but without loaded framing or one-sided sourcing, so it stays centre.
Why: Court-outcome report giving both petition arguments and police allegations; touches civil liberties and preventive powers but without loaded wording or editorial slant, so near centre.
Why: Court report giving both defence and state arguments; touches civil liberties and preventive law only lightly, with no loaded wording or editorialising, so it sits at centre.
Why: Reports court dismissal and both sides' arguments in neutral tone; touches civil liberties and security law lightly, with no loaded wording, so only a slight lean.
Critical, Neutral or Supportive, scored separately. It refers to the Union government unless the story is about a state. On the spectrum strip, each dot is an article: its position is the ideology score and its colour is the stance.
If an article would score differently with the parties' roles reversed, that signal is partisanship. It goes into the stance tag, not the ideology score.
High, Medium or Low, based on how much of the article was read, how many clear signals it has, and whether they agree.
Stories with fewer than five articles are marked. A blindspot is a contested story where we found coverage from only one side.
Articles that touch none of the three dimensions, such as a car launch or a match report, carry no ideology score.
This prototype is refreshed by hand (last on 17 Oct, 03:00 IST). At launch:
| Wires and the top 20 outlets | checked every 5 minutes |
| All other outlets | checked every 15 minutes |
| New story | goes up at 3 articles from 2 or more outlets, marked Limited coverage |
| Live stories | new articles added every 15 minutes; summary rewritten at most hourly |
| Home page order | every 15 minutes |
New facts go into a dated update log at the top of the story. New articles carry an “Added” tag. If a note or list changes, the earlier version stays viewable.
A story is Live while coverage arrives, Winding down after about 2 days without new coverage, and Archived after about 7. Nothing is deleted: links never change, archived scores are frozen, and stories stay on their issue pages and in search.
