The farmer who was allegedly shot dead by police on Republic Day had returned to his hometown from Australia after recently being married.

Police deny allegations saying it was a tractor accident. Eye witnesses & a UK doctor say otherwise.

No Australian media has covered this. https://twitter.com/tractor2twitr/status/1356780287544283136
The @guardian published an article highlighting how journalists who reported the alleged shooting have since been arrested & facing criminal charges + alleged suppression of autopsy: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/feb/01/indian-journalists-face-criminal-charges-over-police-shooting-reports

Republic Day riots: Deceased farmer had returned home from Australia | Indian Link

Multiple reports have emerged that deceased farmer Navreet Singh, who passed away at the tractor rally, had flown back home from Melbourne.

To my knowledge, no other Australian media outlet has covered the story of Navreet’s death, the many questions surrounding it & the broader context of information & media suppression. It should be of great concern to us all.
