Truth –

Caravan Daily Edited their 25th October 2018 article which went viral

Correction

An earlier version of the report had used ‘Lynched’ in headline.  The error is regretted.  Delhi Police have confirmed that Azeen died as a result of a scuffle between two groups of students. –Editor

On 29th October 2018 –

Caravan Daily Clarifies

Caravan Daily had earlier reported, based on the accounts of madrassa students and teachers and activists from the United Against Hate group offered during a Facebook live video, that Azeem had died after being assaulted by a group of youngsters and falling over a bike. However, in hindsight, the word ‘Lynched’ in the headline of our report was perhaps a bit hasty and out of place. The error is deeply regretted. We strongly believe in speaking truth and upholding the highest principles of fair, honest and responsible journalism. –Editor

“Lynching” ?

The word “Lynched” according to Cambridge Dictionary means –

If a crowd of people lynch someone who they believe is guilty of a crime, they kill them without a legal trial, usually by hanging (= killing using a rope round the neck).

In this incident, it was a scuffle between two groups of boys, where Azeem fell on being pushed and his head hit a Bike parked there, He died of Internal injury.

While Lynching means a mob or a group of people beating ‘someone’, it can be seen the Azeem was not alone
