CLARIFICATION ON MISQUOTATION OF ADR REPORT BY MEDIA HOUSES

Date: 21-02-2025

Report on “Analysis of Criminal Background, Financial, Education, Gender, and Other Details of Ministers in the Delhi Assembly 2025”

Some media articles have quoted that the new Delhi Chief Minister, Ms Rekha Gupta, has declared criminal cases against herself, and wrongly attributed it to ADR’s report on Analysis of Criminal Background, Financial, Education, Gender, and Other Details of Ministers in the Delhi Assembly 2025 released on 20^th February 2025. As per our report, except Ms Rekha Gupta and Mr Ravinder Indraj Singh, all other five ministers have declared criminal cases. The press release and report link of this report can be found here: https://groups.google.com/g/national-election-watch/c/4vmE0ETZBwY?hl=en.

The following media houses have misquoted the ADR report:

English: The Hindu, Hindustan Times, The Financial Express, One India, Deccan Herald, India TV News, Vartha Bharati, Himbu Mail, Money Control, Economic Times, The Patriot, Rediff, The Tribune, and Shafaqna

Hindi Coverage: आज तक, हिंदुस्तान, अमर उजाला, ABP, पत्रिका, दिप्रिंट, Inshorts, नवजीवन, India News, India Tomorrow, The Telegraph, Web Dunia, and IBC24

The above media houses, which have misquoted the ADR Report, should immediately remove the misquoted articles or update the article with correct information and inform their audience about the correction. The media houses should issue an apology for misquoting ADR.

All information in this report has been taken by ADR from the website of the Election Commission of India (http://affidavitarchive.nic.in/) and all the information is available in the public domain. ADR does not add or subtract any information unless the EC changes the data. In particular, no unverified information from any other source is used.

The media houses should directly refer to ADR’s press releases and reports on our website, adrindia.org, in case of any doubt.

Thank you
