Police in Mainpuri say a 48-year-old man allegedly shot his 19-year-old daughter in the head while she slept, after she refused a marriage he had fixed for November 19. She was referred to Saifai Medical College and is being treated, and her father was arrested on his way to a police station.
Why it matters: The case points to family pressure over marriage choices and violence against young women, an issue that cuts across Indian states and communities.
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 3 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 (Indian Express, Times Now). 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.
All three reports rely on police accounts and use near-identical wording, so there is no real disagreement.
No real disagreement between sides in this coverage.
Why: A crime report on a father allegedly shooting his daughter over marriage choice, based on police accounts. It has no policy or ideological framing and no government angle.
Why: A plain crime report of a father allegedly shooting his daughter over marriage choice; it has no policy, identity or government angle and uses neutral, police-sourced wording.
Why: A plain crime report of a father allegedly shooting his daughter over marriage choice. It has no policy, party or communal framing, so it touches none of the ideological dimensions.
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.

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.
