The Spin

Narrative A

As if the jarring allegations of Singh's sexual abuse weren’t devastating enough, the Indian government’s lack of a response is a glaring example of Modi’s corruption. The evidence against Singh is overwhelming, yet there hasn’t been a good-faith investigation, never mind an arrest. Maybe the bravery of these wrestlers has finally forced some government action.

Narrative B

There are obvious reasons these accusations against Singh could be politically motivated, which is why the legal process must play out. Indian police are working diligently to investigate the situation and will release its report next week. Only then can a final judgment be made.
