Was the Noida violence planned in advance?
The Police Commissioner clearly said that the violence in Noida was a “malicious intentionally organized activity”. This means that the violence was not carried out spontaneously but in a planned manner. Police believe that some people were trying to destabilize industrial areas.
Who were accused of instigating the workers?
The names of Manisha Chauhan, Rupesh Rai and Aditya Anand have emerged in the investigation. According to the police, Rupesh Rai calls himself an auto driver. Aditya Anand is unemployed. These people have been active in various movements across the country for a long time. Rupesh has been continuously present in the movements taking place at different places since 2018 and Aditya since 2020, due to which questions are being raised on their active networks.
How did the movement spread through WhatsApp and QR code?
Police investigation revealed that the movement started in Noida on 31 March and 1 April. WhatsApp groups were created through QR codes on 9th and 10th April. The workers were united through these groups, that is, the strategy of mobilizing the crowd on a large scale using digital tools was adopted.
How did a peaceful protest turn violent?
According to the police, the labor movement started on April 10. Road jam was instigated on April 11. A peaceful agreement was also reached on the same day. But despite this, some people rekindled the atmosphere by giving provocative speeches and inciting the workers to violence.

What is social media and Pakistan connection?
This is the most shocking aspect of this case. According to the police, on April 13, misinformation was spread through two X (Twitter) accounts. During the demonstration, workers were found looking at these posts. Investigation revealed that both these accounts were being operated from Pakistan. Were being operated through VPN for the last three months. This indicates that a planned attempt was made to spoil the atmosphere by using social media.
