Delhi Police ACP Manasvi Vashishtha was suspended, according to police sources, for violation of discipline a day after he led a protest by police personnel outside police headquarters. The protest was against the transfers of Vashishtha and Shahdara SHO Arun Kumar, ordered after an October 23 clash with lawyers at Shahdara police station.
Why it matters: A rare public protest by Delhi Police personnel, a standoff with lawyers and a suspension reported to be by the Union Home Ministry raise questions about discipline and police-bar relations in the national capital.
This matter is before the courts or under investigation. Nazariya reports what was said and alleged; it does not decide guilt or the outcome.
Based on 12 articles read in full. Scores describe each article's framing, not the outlet and not whether it is accurate.
Large outlets read: 5 of 15 (Hindustan Times, The Hindu, Republic, Times Now, Dainik Bhaskar).
Outlets largely report the same facts and mostly rely on police sources; they differ in detail on who ordered the suspension, crowd size and the lawyers' allegations.
No real disagreement between sides in this coverage.
Why: Police-lawyer dispute and disciplinary action reported factually; no religion, social justice or economic-policy angle, so not ideological. Stance toward Union govt is neutral.
Why: Very short report of a police disciplinary action, sourced to police sources. It touches none of the ideological dimensions and carries no framing, so it is non-ideological and neutral.
Why: A police-versus-lawyers dispute over discipline and transfers; no religion, social-justice or economic-policy angle, and the report gives both sides' claims plainly.

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.
