On April 2nd, the local police in Madhya Pradesh arrested eight men, including a journalist and a prominent theater artist, after which they were beaten, stripped, and photographed. According to NDTV, the incident happened when Kanishka Tiwari, a local journalist and YouTuber, tried covering the protest against the arrest of theater artist Neeraj Kunder. Tiwari was arrested along with his cameraman and was interrogated by police. The reason for their arrest was their negative coverage of a local Member of the Legislative Assembly, Kedarnath Shukla, from the Hindu-nationalist BJP party. The politician accused Kunder of creating a fake Facebook account and posting "abusive posts" against him and his son. Majoj Soni, Station House Office of the Kotawali police, explained, "We keep them in jail in this way [stripped] so that they cannot commit suicide using their clothes." However, Mukhesh Shrivastava, the police superintendent of Madhya Pradesh, said the incident is being investigated and "... such action is not acceptable."
