A Special Executive Magistrate extended the judicial custody of Cockroach Janta Party leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka by two days on Monday. They were detained after a protest at Jantar Mantar, which police say had been de-notified as a protest site, and the party says it was protesting against the Election Commission over the voter-roll revision.
Why it matters: The case tests where protest rights end and policing powers begin in the capital, and it is linked to the dispute over the voter-roll revision.
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.
Based on 5 articles read in full. Scores describe each article's framing, not the outlet and not whether it is accurate.
Large outlets read: 2 of 15 (Hindustan Times, The Hindu). Most of India’s largest outlets, including NDTV, India Today, Times of India, Hindustan Times, The Hindu and Indian Express, block our reader in this prototype, so their coverage is missing here. The launch pipeline reads their public feeds.
Coverage splits mainly on whose account gets space: police arguments on public order, or the CJP's claims of delayed bail and rejected sureties.
Why: Covers detention of protest leaders with CJP allegations of delay and illegal arrest given prominent space; civil-liberties framing, though police version is also noted. Stance leans critical of the government.
Why: Centres civil liberties and protest rights; relays CJP's claims of delayed bail and a 'circus' process, with no police or government reply. Leans mildly left on liberties and state power.
Why: Centres civil liberties and protest rights, with CJP's allegations of delayed bail given most space and no official reply; the police account is brief. Stance leans critical of the Union government.
Why: Touches civil liberties and protest rights against SIR; gives police and defence arguments, but framing of detention as precautionary slightly leans toward civil-liberties concerns. Mildly left-leaning, even-handed stance.
Why: Wire report on custody extension gives both Delhi Police and CJP's lawyer space. It touches civil liberties and the SIR dispute only lightly, with no loaded wording, so the ideology lean is centrist.
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:

| 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 |

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.
NDTV, India Today, Times of India, Hindustan Times, The Hindu, Indian Express, News18, ABP, Times Now and Mint block the reader used for this prototype, so their articles are missing. Each story shows how many of India’s 15 largest outlets we read. The launch pipeline will read outlets’ public feeds, TV transcripts and Hindi articles.
