When media coverage helps terrorists
Each replay subtly blurs moral boundaries and normalises violence
The investigation into the Vehicle-Based IED in Delhi is revealing the networks, conspiracies and the planning involved. The sudden appearance and relentless replay of the suicide bomber's "confession video" have injected a disturbing dimension. What was likely recorded by handlers as a tool of indoctrination is now playing out on national television like routine news content. In doing so, we are risking playing into the hands of terrorists and serving their purpose of psychological warfare. Is this TRP race not compromising India's fight against terror?
