💨 Abstract

A communal riot in parts of Nagpur, India was fueled by political and right-wing group statements, social media rumors, and local Muslim leader mobilization. The incident was sensationalized by TV news channels, who repeatedly aired close-up footage of rioters and numbered each man, deepening communal divisions. The media's duty is to report incidents and identify those involved in violence, without sensationalism.
