Hafta letters: Covid coverage, caste violence, and profanity
NL subscribers get back with bouquets and brickbats!
Hi NL team,
Kudos on the follow-up story on the Hathras case. I was wondering if there was a way for you to make the bank account details of the victims public so that we could make direct transfers to their account.
One way I feel to stop these crimes inflicted by the oppressor castes is to ensure we all come together and make the victims extremely rich. This way people would learn that crime against the already oppressed can backfire, which I feel can be a deterrent. This country needs a big altruism revolution so that we come to the rescue of fellow countrymen who are under strife.

Dear Team NL Hafta,
I have been listening to your podcast for over a year now. I took the subscription two months ago, as soon as I got the new job. I am just a small contributor, but I promise I will increase my monetary support as soon as I stabilise in my new job. If my writing is not correct grammatically, I want to apologise. I don t want my name to be mentioned.
I have a query about how you verify a story. Recently, there was a gruesome murder of Rinku Sharma in Delhi. The version of both police and the victim s family are different. The Delhi police is known for its incompetence and peddling of lies and particular narrative. So, which version should we as readers believe? In journalism, do you give importance to victim story or police story?
