Mohammed Rafiq Shah has been acquitted 12 years later on 16th February 2017. While we can talk ad infinitum about how investigative agencies of our country repeatedly frame innocent youth, especially those with a Muslim name, we must also talk about the role that media plays in villainizing the accused even before the court proceedings start.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2017\/02\/Selection_24_02_2017_005.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2017\/02\/Selection_24_02_2017_005.png\" alt=\"Mohammaed Rafiq Shah being declared as the 29\/10 bomber by Hindustan Times\" width=\"1236\" height=\"1345\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-896\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In recent past, there have been innumerable cases where scores of Muslims have been acquitted by courts &#8211; Haren Pandya case, Akshardham case, Ahmedabad blasts case etc. There are many other cases where people have been killed in encounters claiming that these people are on a terrorism mission and the encounters have been later found to be fake. Even in such cases, media has behaved as an extension of the establishment instead of asking questions. The below news clipping is that of Times of India on Jun 17th 2004, two days after Ishrat Jahaan, Pranesh Pillai urf Javed Sheikh and two others were gunned down by Gujarat Police. Gujarat Police claimed that these four were out to kill the then Gujarat CM Narendra Modi.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2017\/02\/Selection_24_02_2017_006.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2017\/02\/Selection_24_02_2017_006.png\" alt=\"Pranesh Pillai urf Javed Sheikh declared Modi Killer\" width=\"1492\" height=\"680\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-897\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>While the aforementioned encounter has been found to be prima facie fake by multiple investigative agencies including SIT and CBI, the above headline declared that Pranesh Pillai was the &#8220;Modi &#8216;killer&#8217; who had converted to Islam for love&#8221;.
