AAP councillor Tahir Hussain has been linked with the murder of IB staffer Ankit Sharma who was found dead in a drain<\/a> close to Hussain’s house on February 26. Since then, the AAP leader has been suspended from the party and is now under police custody<\/a>. The reportage around Tahir Hussain and communal riots in Delhi comprises several reports that weren’t journalistically sound.<\/p>\n

One such report was published by Sudarshan News. <\/em> On February 27, <\/em>the channel\u00a0tweeted<\/a> (archived link<\/a>) a two-minute “ground report” from Tahir Hussain’s house. In the video, the reporter introduced an unnamed person as “witness”. According to this witness, a girl was dragged into Hussain’s residence, murdered and dumped into a drain nearby. The camera pointed at burnt clothes on the ground. The witness and the reporter claimed that these belonged to the girl whose corpse was found by the police on February 27.<\/p>\n

Sudarshan News <\/em>tweeted, “Girl’s burnt clothes, bag and undergarments found at Tahir Hussain’s house. It is speculated that something untoward had happened with the girl. As per sources, police found the girl’s dead body in a drain. Chances are that the girl was dragged into Tahir’s house and brutally killed.” This video has been retweeted over 9,500 times and gained close to four lakh views.<\/p>\n

Delhi police discredit the report<\/h4>\n

Alt News was unable to locate any reports by mainstream media claiming that a female dead body was recovered near Tahir Hussain’s house.<\/em> However, several social media users and right-wing websites had shared an image of a minor girl, asserting that her corpse was found in a drain close to his place. Alt News found that the photograph was of a girl who was found dead in her house in an unrelated incident in Madhya Pradesh<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking with Alt News Alok Kumar, joint commissioner of police, eastern range New Delhi, said, “No female dead body has been recovered from the Chand Bagh drain, where IB staff Ankit Sharma was found, in our ongoing investigations.”<\/p>\n

Nitisha Kashyap, special correspondent, CNN News18, <\/em>was reporting from Chand Bagh on February 27. At 4:20 minutes<\/a> into the broadcast below, she informed, “The police briefed that no female dead body has been found from the Chand Bagh drain where Ankit Sharma was found.”<\/p>\n
