Washington Post publishes dubious claim on urban naxal case
Op IndiaOn February 10, left-leaning American newspaper Washington Post published a report alleging that the Bhima Koregaon case accused were falsely implicated in the case by planting fake evidence on their computers. Following up on an earlier report by Caravan making the same claims, the Washington Post report quoted an alleged forensic study of the ‘electronic copy’ of a laptop belonging to one accused Rona Wilson by an American company to claim that incriminating letters were planted in the laptop by a hacker. Quoting a report from Arsenal Consulting, a Massachusetts-based digital forensics firm, the report claims that Wilson’s laptop was hacked using malicious emails. The Washington Post report also claims that the Arsenal Consulting report was based on a forensic study of the ‘electronic copy’ of the laptop, which is a curious and confusing nomenclature. However, the Arsenal report states that it had received a hard disk containing ‘forensic images’ and ‘police work product’ related to Wilson and other accused in the Bhima Koregaon case.
