On Tuesday, MiD DAY used two pictures on its front page that showed rioters vandalising the Amar Jawan memorial near Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) in Mumbai.

They were shot by Atul Kamble, a senior photographer with this newspaper, who was assigned to cover the Azad Maidan protest on Saturday by members of the Raza Academy, an Islamic religious institution established in 1978 to promote conservative values among the Muslim community. The protest itself was to raise voice against the “bad treatment of Muslims in Assam and Myanmar.”
