Pulling out facts from a year ago is too much trouble for reporters. In the reporting on minister Mahesh Sharma's visit to Dadri after the death in jail of one of the accused from Bisara village, it was mentioned that the district magistrate had announced a compensation of Rs 25 lakh for the family. None of the reports thought of contextualised this by contrasting it with the Rs 10 lakh that the UP government had announced last year as compensation for the lynching of Mohammad Akhlaq, to his family. The Hindu today asked Sharma if he had offered money to the family of the deceased accused, and carried his denial, but did not put the Rs 25 lakh figure to the minister while asking the question.
