Digital communication spaces are heavily monitored in Haryana, where two journalists were slapped with criminal charges. The charges were filed by the son of a government official after the reporters posted allegedly defamatory comments regarding the official in local WhatsApp news groups. This reflects a rising trend of using criminal defamation to police digital interactions and permanently silence regional stringers.
